In Grade 6, students study people, places, and societies of the contemporary world. This year we will be doing the Engage Learning Model, where our students will learn to work collaboratively, using their soft skill. They will learn to research and how to become life long learners. We will cover culture, Five themes of geography, types of government, economic systems, colonialism, revolution and war. We will also tackle the Holocaust, genocide, social injustice and the beginning of the United States.
