Social Subjects
History, Geography & Modern Studies
Welcome to the Social Subjects department!
Here History, Geography, and Modern Studies cover a number of comprehensive topics. Our students explore the richness of the past, understand the complexities of the present, and engage with the challenges of the future. Throughout lessons students experience debates about current news, develop their critical thinking about the past and provide solutions for global concerns. Students are prepared to be inclusive and determined citizens.
