Our social studies curriculum is designed to empower Black students by providing them with essential knowledge and critical thinking skills to make informed decisions for themselves and society. We recognize the need to expose students to key historical information that helps them understand the complex nature of today's society. Our curriculum was developed with the understanding that our students must compete in a global economic system that values individuals who comprehend its evolution.

Since we serve students from various regions across the country, it is challenging to align our social studies teaching with each state's specific standards. Instead, we have chosen an approach aligned with the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) standards. Our curriculum's theme revolves around analyzing regions based on geography, climate, societal development and structure, people, culture, art, power, authority, governance, civic ideals and practices, individuals, groups, and institutions, science, technology, architecture, production, distribution, consumption, global connections, and contributions.

By adopting this comprehensive approach, we aim to equip our Black students with a deep understanding of the world around them, enabling them to critically analyze their surroundings, historical contexts, and global interconnections. Through the study of various social science disciplines, our curriculum fosters a well-rounded education that prepares our students for success in an ever-changing and interconnected world.
