At My City School, our Social Studies program provides students with a rich understanding of the people, events, and ideas that have shaped our world while examining how historical events continue to influence our lives today. Rather than simply memorizing dates and facts, students investigate history through multiple perspectives. They are guided to think critically about the experiences of different cultures, communities, and individuals. Through age-appropriate discussions and project-based learning, students analyze historical events with curiosity, empathy, and evidence-based reasoning.

Students focus on a broad study of the development of America. MCS exposes students to history through a combination of tools that help them understand, process and retain historical narratives.  These include videos, discussions, research, and textbook reading paired with annotation skills, the creation of timelines and connect to their personal history to the building of America. Additionally students visit local museums and cultural exhibits to deepen their understanding of specific topics.
