PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This experiential learning programme helps students understand how places tell stories about the past. Students explore buildings, objects, environments, and communities to learn how people lived earlier and how life has changed over time.

Students focus on careful observation, simple comparison, and clear explanations. They learn that history is not only in textbooks but also visible in real places. The programme builds confidence in using evidence and supports MYP Individuals & Societies learning goals.
