Social Science with Specialisation Social Science
Learning to understand people and the world around us.
Why choose IEGS?
We welcome all students. But those who tend to flourish in this programme are: students who are intellectually curious; who ask questions; who are interested in ideas; who want to find out things for themselves; who ask more questions; who embrace a challenge; who like to form an opinion; who listen to the opinions of others; who ask more questions; who are prepared to change their opinion; who show a restless desire to learn more about the world around them; who demonstrate a determination to develop their skills; who are willing and motivated to help those around them do the same. Great people, basically.
How do we teach?
There is no single teaching style. Those teaching on the program collaborate closely to ensure the students are both challenged and supported in their studies. The diversity of the teachers’ experiences, training, backgrounds and interests means that students benefit from a wide range of approaches. Still, ultimately, the teaching is designed and the different courses are planned to help students develop their thinking skills, research skills, communication skills, self-management skills and social skills.
Teachers have a clear structure and plan for courses with set checkpoints that helps keep track of where you need to develop to reach your desired grade.
