History at the Georgianum

All history?

Every day that has passed is history, and we explore it. To do this, we use not only our history books, but also sources, excursions and role-playing games.

We start in Year 5 with the Stone Age and gradually make our way to the present day. After all, history still affects us today and has an impact on us. We can learn from history for the present.

In the upper school, individual topics are explored in greater depth.
