The social studies curriculum is designed to build knowledge year by year. Fifth graders study World Geography, gaining an understanding of the physical and cultural landscapes around the globe. Sixth graders explore World History, learning about key events and civilizations that have shaped our world. Seventh grade focuses on U.S. History, providing students with a foundation in the nation’s past and its development. In eighth grade, students study Louisiana History. To bring this history to life, 8th graders participate in a field trip visiting many of the significant sites studied in class.
Throughout their social studies experience, students engage with a variety of resources, including primary documents, films, historical novels, IXL, and more, fostering a deep understanding of the subjects. Students complete research projects that deepen their insight.
