Of course, we also recognize our students’ desire for creative and diverse learning experiences! We actively include enrichment opportunities for students to stretch their learning and deepen their appreciation of History, so that they grow a critical mind and empathetic heart☺
It can be very daunting to decide on what subjects to take in JC- to help you with that, we have created a Q&A padlet for you here to browse through commonly asked questions, and even ask your own!
In TJC, History is offered at the H1 (8838), H2 (9174) and H3 (9823) levels. You can refer to our padlet for the syllabus documents, and if you have further questions, you can direct them to Mr Jared Wong, HOD/Humanities (JC) at wong_wei_ming_jared@moe.edu.sg.
Curriculum
Curriculum
The study of A-level History centres around several key concepts like cause and effect, significance, change and continuity, and diversity. These concepts will be investigated across the two years as our students embark on a contemporary study of regional and international developments in the twentieth century. Through a thematic-comparative and issues-based approach, our students will be able to systematically and logically think about the historical processes that have shaped the present. This would place our students in good stead to appreciate the multifaceted nature of our world today, and to form nuanced and critical perspectives about the world we live in.
Enrichment
Enrichment
As part of our exciting course of study, we provide various opportunities for you to enhance your learning and appreciation of History. The TJC History Department organises numerous history-related learning journeys and events each year to grow our students’ historical empathy. Through these experiences, our students discover the reality of what they study, and gain a deeper understanding of the impact that history has on life around them.
Our students have benefited greatly from their course of study at TJC History. This is what they have to say:
'I chose to study History because I was interested in historical events, and how they have shaped today’s world. H2 History has deepened my analytical skills, allowing me to analyse and evaluate the relationships between different events and factors in history. It has also honed my argumentative skills, improving my critical thinking skills and the quality of my arguments. As someone who enjoys exploring ideas and the links between them, H2 History has been highly gratifying!!’

‘While History was daunting at first because I hadn’t taken it before and didn’t know what to expect, in the end it was actually really refreshing to learn this new subject. The nature of its content is really enriching and it has broadened my perspective, allowing me to view our world in a more in-depth way. I now have a richer understanding of our collective history, and the passion of our history teachers who lecture and teach us is also contagious!’
