The Upper Primary is based on the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework. The C3 framework builds critical thinking, problem solving, and participatory skills to become engaged citizens. Our Social Studies program builds on and extends literacy skills encouraging students to think critically and solve problems. Students gain knowledge through the study of civics, history, geography, and economics. They practice the habits of civic life by recognizing social problems, examining an issue from different perspectives, and acting on their learning. Through this process of inquiry, students become knowledgeable, thinking, and active citizens prepared to lead in tomorrow's world.
