Social StudiesA step Beyond Knowledge.
SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT
The Holy Child Social Studies department develops informed, globally minded, and inquisitive students - equipped with the skills to develop an understanding of their place in the world and how they can make an impact.
Students learn through direct instruction at times, but primarily through hands-on learning in order to develop deeper understanding. Students learn best practices for research, analysis, and expression of their understanding. Field trips are frequently taken to sites along the east coast, from Washington D.C. to New York City, as a way for students to connect the past to the world around them.
