SOCIAL STUDIES 7s – 10s Older students in the Lower School begin by looking at their neighborhood today, and gradually expand outward across time and space to embark on historical studies for the first time. Children come to appreciate the dynamism and diversity of New York City, including the role they play as engaged citizens in its evolving story. Expanding on the idea of citizenship, our older students learn about the roots of our government and culture, what makes our city and country distinct in the world, as well as what links us to other countries and cultures. These historical studies pave the way for explorations of American history and government, and provide context for later studies of ancient civilizations.
