Social Sciences

The social sciences program introduces the student to the concepts of space, time, society, history and geography.

Expanding on the exploration of their immediate environment, students continue a relationship with the surrounding world, i.e., the community, the City of Montreal, the Province of Quebec, the country of Canada.

Historical time is a difficult concept for children of elementary school age. Students are exposed to the notions of cause and effect, sequence, and chronology through examining their own personal and family histories and charting personal time lines.

The English and French programs reinforce and complement each other. In the French program, students learn the factual content related to historical and geographical concepts, while in the English curriculum integrates some of these concepts.
