Social Sciences

FACS is dedicated to teaching social studies and history in a way that contrasts sharply with secular education. While many secular textbooks revise history to emphasize politically correct viewpoints, texts chosen by FACS present a clear picture of historical events that teachers use as a springboard for thoughtful reflection.

As one of our teachers puts it: "One must admit the reality of absolute truth before one can accurately assess historical events. One cannot have a positive effect on the future when the past is framed incorrectly."

After completing social studies units in seventh grade, FACS students begin a formal study of history with an eighth grade survey of American history. High school students must complete at least three units in social sciences, choosing from world history, U.S. history, economics, world geography and American government (the latter is a required course). Our more serious-minded students take an advanced placement U.S. history course taught by a Ph.D.. These students may qualify for college credit, following examination.
