Social Studies is the study of the social sciences and humanities. Within the curriculum, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study of information, skills, and concepts from the disciplines of history, geography, political science, economics, anthropology, psychology, law, archaeology, and sociology with attention also given to connections among the peoples and nations of the world, the effect of science and technology on society (and vice versa), and the ways to practice good citizenship. Social studies helps young people develop the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed and reasoned decisions as Catholic citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world. Linkage to our Catholic faith and teachings are integrated throughout the social studies curriculum, especially in the areas of service, social justice and other aspects of Christian life and responsibilities.
