Social Studies Program
The Social Studies curriculum at Saint Bridget School develops interactive themes of family, community, country and the world. Through the study of customs, public services, history, geography, economics, anthropology and political science, we believe students will learn to function as concerned and involved members of society. Children are encouraged to gain the best vantage point possible from which to view the diversity and wonder of God's world.
