Description
Social Studies 10 addresses Canadian history from 1919 to today and is based on the BC New Curriculum - Social Studies 10.
Social Studies 10 revolves around four big ideas:
- Global and regional conflicts have been a powerful force in shaping our contemporary world and identities.
- The development of political institutions is influenced by economic, social, ideological and geographic factors.
- Worldviews lead to different perspectives and ideas about developments in Canadian society.
- Historical and contemporary injustices challenge the narrative and identity of Canada as an inclusive, multicultural society.
This course has been divided into the following units of study: Units 1-5 can be done in any order. The final exam and Unit 6 should be completed after Units 1-5.

Delivery
This course is self-paced and students can begin throughout the year. It is ideal for students who wish to take responsibility for establishing their own timelines and require a flexible course that they can accommodate into their lives.
Students are expected to complete the course within a one-year period. We encourage students to complete a schedule for themselves using the built in scheduler at the beginning of the course. This will give students the big picture view of their commitment and progress towards completion.
