Sciences Humaines
From the ruins of Çatalhöyük to 21st century population movements, students at Mac cover a variety of topics designed to make them better citizens of the world. The social studies programs at Mac are offered in both French and English.
Our department works collaboratively to plan exciting and engaging lessons where students can interact with different materials and sources.
Aside from a well-developed curriculum, students have the opportunity to visit different cultural and heritage sights across Quebec and Ontario each year. See you there!
