Course descriptions/9th grade
Global Studies
This course introduces students to the concept of “global community,” through the study of four realms of the world: North Africa/Southwest Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and East Asia. Global Studies enriches students’ understanding of the physical environment, history, culture, and current political/environmental issues of people in different areas of the world through rigorous and engaging lessons presented through a variety of media. The core question that drives Global Studies is “How do different members of the global community experience geography and culture, and how am I connected to them?”
