The Humanities Pathway allows students to focus deeply on a range of courses directly related to English & Social Studies. The study of humanities provides students with historical perspective and cultural awareness which gives them the ability to critically evaluate, analyze and interpret ideas and actions. The aim is for students to develop knowledge, skills and values that will enable them to participate as ethical, active, and informed citizens in a democratic society within both the local and global community. Humanities students make connections amongst all disciplines and reflect critically on those connections. Successful completion of this Pathway requires that students engage in either AP courses or college level experiences in each targeted area.
