Social Studies

The Social Studies Curriculum at New England Academy
empowers students to learn about the past and see how history connects to today.

The World History Curriculum focuses on cultural studies, key concepts and themes that prepare our students to be global citizens.  The two year in-depth United States History Curriculum spans our country’s history from beginnings up through the 21st Century and includes geography, economics, citizenship and America’s history makers. This two year sequence prepares students for the Massachusetts Comprehensive Exam in United States History. Upper level students can take advantage of course offerings such as Economics, Government, The Challenge of Democracy, or Civics.

Students can access McDougal-Littell’s www.CLASSZONE.com for resources, games, test review and internet activities.
