Social Studies

The social studies curriculum is vast, and encompasses geography, world culture,and world history. Students will be exposed to a wide array of interesting subject matter that will broaden their understanding of the world they live in.

Lessons in geography graphically illustrate the continents, maps of different parts of the world, rivers, seas, mountain ranges, waterfalls and other physical features and landmarks. Lessons in world culture include profiles of individual countries, flags, food, clothing, agriculture, tools, military and naval craft, and much more. The lessons in world history portray famous people, events, battles and bring a historical dimension to understanding our world.

Countries are introduced individually and cover the major points of interest such as the capital, the flag the national anthem, noteworthy geographical or architectural sites, unique foods or clothing and whatever else is important or special.

Level A students will receive one lesson per week, Level B will receive one or two lessons per week, and Level C will receive either two or three social studies lessons per week. Level C participants receive the added benefit of having books relating to the lessons at different intervals throughout the semester. For example, to reinforce the weekly lesson on the continents, an in-depth book on the continents may be included to enhance comprehension and to broaden the scope of knowledge.

Regardless of the age level, every student will be amazed by the total spectrum and scope of information presented in the Social Studies curriculum. It is a diverse and extremely captivating area of study that students will be excited about and will always favor.
