Academic Program: Social Studies |
Critical thinking skills and biblical analysis are the focus of all LV Social Studies courses. We teach students to look at biblical events and themes and how they correlate with history and our world today. They include geography studies and incorporate history stories, historical fiction and/or literature. They are designed to develop an awareness and appreciation for the world God has created and help students understand how history and culture is correlated to our world today. Students are taught critical and higher order reasoning skills as they learn how to interpret history.
