Social Studies

Social studies at TLC is hands-on, experiential, and arts-integrated. The values of TEAM are emphasized through the connections students make while studying history and the world around them. Geography, civics, inclusion and diversity, and social justice are woven into the curriculum at each grade level. TLC’s social studies curriculum in the early grades follows a progression from community to the larger world. In upper elementary, students focus on civics, American history, world cultures, and N.C. history. In middle school, students study a modern history of the United States and Civics, global studies, human rights, and social justice movements. Middle schoolers analyze history through a critical lens and from multiple perspectives, fostering a mindset of compassion and empowering students to effect change through advocacy and activism.
