History +
Global Studies
The History + Global Studies curriculum provides students with an understanding of the forces that have shaped the past and continue to influence the world today.Through the process of reading and writing, as well as problem-solving discussions, students learn to investigate historical questions, analyze sources, and effectively express their ideas. Working with passionate and expert faculty, they also develop the critical skills needed to become an engaged participant in our democracy, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Humanities Concentration
The English and History & Global Studies Departments offer a Humanities Concentration to celebrate and encourage students with a demonstrated passion for the humanities. This concentration is for those who want to exceed requirements in both departments by investing extra time, effort, and energy. To fulfill it, students must complete three additional electives, a Williston Scholars course in either department, and extracurricular work such as publication or participation in relevant clubs.
Ninth Grade Humanities Program
The Ninth Grade Humanities Program consists of three trimester courses in history, religious studies, and the arts. Each ninth grade student is required to complete the history and religion component along with one introductory art trimester of his or her choosing.
