Social Studies Department |
The curriculum of Social Studies at Sheboygan County Christian High School is structured to help students understand who man is, what his/her relationship is to God, and what his/her relationship is to their fellow man and his/her relationship to the world in which they live. The social studies department of Sheboygan County Christian High recognizes that man is created in the image of God and because of Adam’s fall into sin all men are sinful in nature. Because of this sin man has distorted his/her relationship with God, with his/her fellowman, and his/her world or environment around them.
