Middle School Social Studies

In middle school social studies, our students study the history and geography of many different regions and civilizations.  Atlas studies in each grade cover geographical terms, land features, countries, and capitals.  Special hands-on projects are woven into the curriculum to help each student develop a richer appreciation for the subject matter.  In addition, a biennial field trip to Washington, DC allows our seventh and eighth-grade students to experience our nation's capital first-hand.

Fifth grade - New World History and Geography:  Students in fifth grade learn about the far north, Canada, the United States of America, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America. 

Sixth grade - Old World History and Geography:  Students in sixth grade investigate everything from ancient civilizations to the modern countries as they exist today.

Seventh grade - History of the World:  Our seventh-grade students take a comprehensive look at the continents of Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica.   

Eighth grade - American History:  Eighth-graders commence on an in-depth study of American history which includes the study of our system of government.
