Social Studies is the study of people as social beings in their historical, cultural and geographical context, an examination of the social, political and economic structures in which the students live.
The social studies curriculum introduces students to that body of knowledge and those skills that will help them understand the affairs of their community, country and world. A democratic society and an increasingly interdependent world call for students to develop insights and skills necessary to comprehend controversial issues and make responsible choices about their own relationship to and involvement in society.
