历史 & Social Sciences Department
The mission of the 历史 and Social Sciences Department is to foster 分析思考, effective communication, 有效的研究, and civic engagement in our students.
Our diverse curriculum ranges from the global to the local, even incorporating the cultural and historical documents found in Foxcroft’s unique and fascinating archive as primary sources for study to understand the impact of world 事件 on our region.
Foxcroft students engage with ideas through collaborative projects, such as creating a social media campaign for a Progressive Era female changemaker, or interviewing a grandparent and documenting their inter国家 migration through maps, 照片, 和视频.
Students can challenge themselves through multiple Advanced Placement courses, such as AP World 历史, AP United States 历史, AP Economics (Micro and Macro), and AP Human Geography. Students have multiple learning opportunities beyond the classroom, including our Global Studies Concentration, the Model United Nations Club, and many outside speakers that visit campus.
