The Social Sciences and Humanities department offers a range of diverse courses for every type of learner. Social Sciences and Humanities courses explore human behaviour, relationships, societies, nutrition, family life, and culture through critical inquiry, perspective-taking, and evidence-based analysis. The courses empower students to better understand themselves, their connections to family and community, and broader global issues.
Social Sciences & Humanities offer students the opportunity to take a variety of courses throughout their high school career that complement their interests and career plans. These courses can prepare students for post-secondary pathways in social work, law, psychology, education, public policy, childcare, and health sciences.
