Our Social Studies program presents the story of the development of the nation, with emphasis on the period up to 1850. This course focuses on one of the most remarkable stories in history: the creation of the new nation, peopled by immigrants from all parts of the globe and governed by institutions founded on the Judeo-Christian heritage, the ideals of the Enlightenment and English traditions of self-government. The creation of this nation was inspired by the innovative dream of building a new society, in which the promises of the Declaration of Independence would be realized.
