At Phyls Academy Preparatory School, our social studies program is more than learning dates and events. We explore stories, cultures, and lessons. Our annual Social Studies/History Fair celebrates this approach, bringing history to life for our students. It lets students showcase their creativity, critical thinking, and historical knowledge.
