Philosophy
The purpose of social studies education is to prepare students to understand and embrace the role that responsible citizens play in a democratic society. Students must be armed with the necessary skills, knowledge, values, and motivation to implement their role and to act on it in a constructive manner. Achieving this purpose requires that students understand and appreciate diversity, evaluate multiple perspectives, and recognize the changing nature of the world confronting all global citizens.
