Program Overview
WeDo’s Humanities Program is designed to help students understand the world, themselves, and others through critical inquiry, discussion, and reflection.
The program integrates subjects such as history, geography, civics, culture, and social studies, focusing on how ideas, societies, and human decisions shape the world.
Rather than memorising facts, students learn to ask meaningful questions, analyse perspectives, and communicate reasoned viewpoints, building essential thinking skills for academic success and global citizenship.
