This course introduces students to the five interrelated curriculum organizers through the exploration of history, culture, geography, and the applications of specific skills (e.g., map interpretations, writing, research, bar graphs, comparison frameworks, etc.). The prescribed learning outcomes for Social Studies 8 have been derived from the Ministry of Education's Integrated Resource Package (1997) and are the basis for the development of the course.

Module 1: Forging Civilizations, 500-1200
Module 2: From Feudalism to the Nation-State, 1100-1700
