Contemporary Studies
Our program provides a wide range of subjects for students to explore, including History, Geography, Social Sciences, Law, Family Studies, and Economics. We also offer Westview’s Specialized Law in Action Within Schools (LAWS) program.
Through our dynamic programming, students engage with important political, social, and equity issues of yesterday and today. We foster inquiry-based learning opportunities and critical thinking.
*** Remember: Students need to complete 12 elective courses to get their high school diploma. Consider taking some of ours!
