Rahway’s Social Studies Program enables students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become active, informed, and responsible citizens. Students are taught to think critically, make connections, engage in problem-solving and discipline-based inquiry processes, and communicate their findings. In turn, students are empowered and prepared for their role as global citizens in an interdependent world.
