The Family Studies Department at Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School offers courses that give you the tools you need to be successful throughout your high school career and, more importantly, throughout your life! We’ll teach you how to prepare your own meals and sew your own clothing, while also giving you an understanding of individuals and society. Please consider taking our Grade 9 Exploring Family Studies course that provides an overview of our program.
Goals of Family Studies
1.Disciplined Inquiry and Critical Literacy: Social sciences and humanities courses focus on the use of disciplined, structured inquiry to understand human beings, human behaviour, and human nature.
2.Problem Solving: Social sciences and humanities courses require students to engage actively in solving problems confronted by individuals, families, diverse groups, institutions, and societies.
3.Understanding of Self and Others: Students in social sciences and humanities courses are provided with rich opportunities to enhance their self-understanding and understanding of others through an examination of their personal belief systems and also of the foundations and implications of different viewpoints and lived experiences of others.
