HUMSS

The HUMSS strand in senior high school is designed to effectively prepare students who seek to pursue a college degree in liberal education. HUMSS courses cover a variety of subjects, looking at the world and its people from various points of view. The learning activities are directed towards the development of critical thinking.

HUMSS also focuses on developing your oral communication, media and information, and will hone your skills in reading and writing to a professional level. Because the HUMSS strand is intended for those who wish to explore careers in social sciences, this strand will involve a lot of research and presentation, making it a good preparation for their future careers as journalists, lawyers, teachers, politicians, writers, and psychologists. 

The HUMSS curriculum immerses its students in different critical thinking and understanding activities in the learning process. This helps them become more socially aware of the world around them and gives them an important overview of what they will learn later in college. 

The HUMSS strand is especially advantageous for senior high school students who want to receive the following benefits from their education:

• Values of empathy and understanding — essential traits for establishing rapport with others. This is invaluable for those who want a successful career in professions available to HUMSS strand graduates.

• Open-mindedness, and extensive comprehension of the social and cultural nuances of society and the professional world. 

• Exploration of the different ideologies in media, art, politics, and more.

• A sense of confidence in presentation and public speaking, and the ability to present one’s opinions and ideas in a cohesive, articulate, and logical manner.
