What does Social Studies include? The Social Studies PsychologyAnthropologyReligionHistory Political Science/ Law ArchaeologyPhilosophyGeographyEconomicsSociology

Social Studies is... “Social Studies is the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence. Within the school program, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study drawing upon such disciplines as anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences. The primary purpose of social studies is to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world.” (Expectations for Excellence: Curriculum Standards for Social Studies, NCSS, 1994)
