Social Studies

The understanding of how human beings interact with their physical and social environments is essential for living a stable and productive life. Social Studies fosters this understanding and is integrated with elements of Geography, History, Sociology,

Psychology, Economics, Civics, Health Science, Religion and Sexuality Education. The overall goal of the curriculum is to nurture in learners the knowledge, skills, competencies, attitudes and values that will enable them to live as functional citizens who understand their physical environment, can interact with it productively and in a sustainable manner and who live at peace with others and help preserve the values of their society.
