History
History at SEM advances
globally engaged citizens.
SEM is an international school, and it is especially important for our students to experience global perspectives, consider multiple cultural viewpoints, and grasp how social, economic, political, and cultural structures develop and change over time. Our diverse course offerings create opportunities to deepen understanding of non-western civilizations, fundamental philosophies, and specific time periods.
“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.”
