Both of these courses, Comparative Cultures & Comparative World Religions will enhance your knowledge of various cultures and religions around the globe from pre-history to present. Throughout the areas of study, belief systems will be covered as they relate to each culture’s mythology, spirituality, religion, social structure and various other factors in society. Some topics that will be examined, in varying depths,  may include pre-history, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Rome, Greece, and major world religions (including their growth, core beliefs & influences).

NOTE: A final research project will be required in lieu of an exam for both courses.

NOTE: These courses may be taken at either the grade 11 or 12 level.

NOTE: You may take this course twice to receive both sets of credits (it is recommended to take Comparative Cultures followed by Comparative World Religions). In doing so, this will involve a more self-directed approach to World Religions and will include a more in- depth study of the aspects of belief systems, spirituality, and mythology across time and place and how they have influenced values, cultures and traditions.
