Social Studies Department

Regions and People of the World: The sixth grade year focuses on the study of world regions. The focus is geographic rather than historic. Students study some of the earliest people to live in each region in order to understand how humans adapted to the environmental conditions at that time. Connections are made to present-day world regions, including: Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and Europe.
