Alberta Grade 9 Social Studies Curriculum Overview

Grade 9 Social Studies in Alberta is built around big ideas: What does it mean to live in a democracy? How do rights and responsibilities shape society? What is Canada's identity in a global world? These questions guide students through a year of learning that connects history, civics, and current events.

Key Topics in Grade 9 Social Studies

  • Democracy and governance — how governments are structured and how citizens participate
  • Canadian identity — the values, history, and diversity that define Canada
  • Rights and responsibilities — individual rights and the responsibilities that come with them
  • Global citizenship — Canada's role in the world and issues that affect all people
  • Diverse perspectives — understanding how different groups experience society
