Social Studies

Overview

At KKFS, students learn to understand and critically reflect on the dynamic nature of societies and peoples and how each interacts with the other. Students are provided with a range of contexts in which to consider the past, present, and future. Learning experiences are designed to engage and prepare students to participate in society as informed and confident citizens.
