Strathcona High School’s Social Studies department aims to develop critical thinkers who can look at the world with a multi-dimensional perspective.

AP courses branch into European history and specialized courses in General Psychology, World Religion and Micro and Macro Economics help students prepare for post-secondary studies in the social sciences.
