Awareness training ... About a nation and society, through several subjects from Politics, Economics and history, through to Religion, Geography, Psychology and Anthropology (the study of various aspects of humans within past and present societies). They will be equipped to make better-informed decisions for themselves, with a mind as to how it will affect others; with awareness of their rights and responsibilities.
An understanding of the basis of Social Studies is essential for appreciation of the subject and processing of the facts and data, which runs everyday lives and society.
As Children grow older, this perception and training becomes more necessary as the focus extends from them and they become aware of the impacts on their families, friends and acquaintances.
Our Social Studies Curriculum is periodically updated, to enable children to obtain accurate knowledge, which reflects and integrates global changes which exist today.
Social Studies has always been a subject which Children enjoy and feel comfortable because it is about their lives, learning other cultures and the understanding of everyday occurrences around them.
The scope is wide, they study about Places and Environments, Governance and Authority, Institutions, World-Wide Connections, Civic Practices and so much more. Everything they need to be prepared for their own contribution as they enter society, to be educated, productive, socially responsible people.
It is essential for Children to understand the structural insights of Culture, Politics and Economics. Only when armed with this knowledge, can they identify how the world functions on a social level and how the society which they are living in, came to be.
