Social Studies
The Wea Ridge Middle School Social Studies department strives to promote the concepts of democracy, cultural understanding, and diversity. We use multiple sources to engage and inform students while developing problem-solving skills and cooperative learning. The 6th graders learn about the Western World, 7th graders cover the Eastern World, and our 8th graders study European exploration of the Americas through Reconstruction. The ultimate goal of our department is for students to become positive, productive citizens in their school environment, their community, and ultimately the world.
