The Social Studies Department offers a basic curriculum involving the study of World History for two yearstogether with one year of American History. The curriculum fulfills the requirements of the PennsylvaniaDepartment of Education and those of the Office of Catholic Education of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia; it is also a requirement for graduation. Additional elective courses are offered to augment these basic studies. As a Catholic educational institution we have noted the words of the Second Vatican Council which teach that: Different styles of life and multiple scales of values arise from the diversemanner of using things, of laboring, of expressing oneself, of practicing religion, of forming customs, of establishing laws and juridic institutions, of cultivatingthe sciences, the arts and beauty. Thus the customs handed down to us form the patrimony proper to each human community, It is also in this way that there is formed the definite historical milieu which enfolds the man of every nation and age and from which he draws the values which permit him to promote civilization. --Decree on the Church and the Modern World |
