The Social Studies curriculum seeks to create an awareness of the diverse American nation and the interdependent world. The curriculum enables students to learn about the past to better understand the present in order to anticipate and prepare for the future as active Christian proponents of peace and justice in the world. The curriculum’s content spans from learning about the uniqueness of self, families and communities in kindergarten to the study of world and U.S. history, geography, culture, economic systems, and governmental systems by the middle grades. Through a literacy and problem-solving approach, students learn and communicate knowledge in various ways, including creating integrated art and technology models.
