Social studies courses aim to help build an interest, understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the disciplines of the social sciences: geography, history, civics, law, economics, criminology, sociology and psychology.
The program provides you with a range of skills, including the ability to work with other students, to express yourself effectively and to think critically and analytically, while also becoming an environmentally and socially active citizen.
While studying history, for example, you’ll better understand what led to the Second World War by researching a country and engaging in mock League of Nations negotiations.
