Social studies provides a comprehensive program that seeks to develop knowledge, attitudes, and skills that will enable students to understand how groups and institutions influence the lives of individuals and give society its stability and order. Our program incorporates practice in reflective inquiry, problem analysis, and decision –making to enable students to develop a commitment to democracy and to become rational citizens in a global context.
