Social Studies consists of two subjects: Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives and Global History.
-Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives develops transferable skills that support learners in their studies and their everyday lives. Students will develop research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, collaboration, and communication skills through age-appropriate and engaging activities based on a broad range of topics. Each unit is based on a ‘Challenge’ which requires students to use these skills to complete a project.
-Global History develops students’ knowledge of the past and builds their historical skills. The curriculum is knowledge-rich and geographically diverse, giving students a solid framework of the past that will enrich their understanding of the world they live in. Students will build their thinking from the ground up, with subject knowledge providing a gateway to more complex tasks – such as source analysis and extended writing. Each unit is based on an ‘Enquiry Question’ which requires students to use their subject knowledge to answer a historical question.
