Philosophy Statement: By looking at the themes of social studies (commonality and diversity, conflict and cooperation, continuity and change, individualism and interdependence, and interaction with environment) we can see that God has a plan He is carrying to completion; history records the progress of that plan. Through studying history and geography, students can better understand the world and become active citizens.
Course Objective: Students will be exposed to essential knowledge in the area of history and geography that will establish a firm foundation for upper level courses. • Mesopotamia
