The main goals of the Canadian and world studies program in Grades 9 and 10 are to help
students to:
• gain an understanding of the basic concepts of the subjects taught at this level, as a foundation
for further studies in the discipline;
• develop the knowledge and values they need to become responsible, active, and informed
Canadian citizens in the twenty-first century;
• develop practical skills (such as critical-thinking, research, and communication skills), some
of which are particular to a given subject in Canadian and world studies and some of which
are common to all the subjects in the discipline;
• apply the knowledge and skills they acquire in Canadian and world studies courses to better
understand their interactions with the natural environment; the political, economic, and
cultural interactions among groups of people; the relationship between technology and
society; and the factors contributing to society’s continual evolution.
