Social Studies Be it the Civil War or a discus¬ sion on life cycles, topics in the Social Studies department lead to lively debate. Courses require that a student not simply store knowledge but realize its integra¬ tion into the real world. Seniors in Psychology investi¬ gate learning, thinking, behavior, personality and the quality of life. In Current Issues, students study not only the system of govern¬ ment but also the issues that con¬ front the world day to day. Students in World History and American History have their course of study complemented by films and research. They ex¬ amine major events and contribu¬ tions of modern Europe dating from the Renaissance. The study of early civilizations, Greece, Rome, the Near East and feudal Europe is within the World History program. In American History talk turns to events from the explorations of Columbus to the exploration of space.
