7th Grade 

Through the study of major civilizations - like Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, Greece, Rome, China and the Americas - students will gain an understanding of how geography, religion, leadership, political institutions, technological developments and conflict contributed to the growth and change of societies over time. Students will also investigate the transformation of Europe during the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, Reformation, and Age of Exploration. These time periods are explored not only as individual eras, but also as overlapping movements that influenced one another and shaped the global future. The goal is to build historically informed, globally aware learners who understand how the past has shaped the world they live in today.
