Modern History offers students an insight into the world that we live in by explaining the events, the people and forces that created it.
The topics that we study are all relevant to the world we live in today.
We learn about past cultures that have influenced our present without even leaving the room.
The resources we studied are varied and suit the needs of all learning styles. There are a numbers of films and documentaries to support the topics we study. The media is also used to inform us about our world and to demonstrate the effects of the past on our present reality.

Education is learning how to spot the signs of history, repeating itself.
When the world feels dark and the news and media are continually telling us what is wrong with the world, History reminds us that despite all the evil, horrible injustice that occurs, there is also good in the world! The power of one person can change the course of many...
