 “In our history department, we don't just teach dates and names. We equip young women with the critical thinking skills necessary to solve complex problems, understand diverse perspectives, cultivate empathy, and develop a profound awareness of the interconnected world around them. We believe that history is not just about the past, but a powerful tool for shaping a brighter future.”
