History

History is the study of past events, people, and societies that shaped the world we live in today. Through inquiry learning, students ask questions, investigate sources, and connect historical events to modern life. Instead of only memorizing dates, they explore causes, effects, and perspectives from different times and cultures. Activities like role-play, debates, and projects bring the past to life and encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and empathy. By examining how choices of the past influence the present, students see that History is more than facts—it is a guide to understanding human experiences and building the future.
