Canadian & World Studies

Martingrove’s Canadian and World Studies Department offers a wide variety of courses, ranging from Ancient Civilizations and Canadian History to Psychology and Philosophy, for all pathways including Advanced Placement, University and College.  

The History department hosts simulations such as Mock Elections, Mock Trials, and rousing debates within our annual Model United Nations conference.  The Martingrove History department is more than just a department, it is a way to understand our place in the future, historically speaking.

• understand that your place on this planet, past, present and future is intrinsically linked to the environment through a variety of human systems

• develop the moral capacity to evaluate human actions in order to promote responsible stewardship of the planet and its inhabitants.
