Social and Cultural Anthropology is the comparative study of culture and human societies with the ultimate goal of understanding humankind in all its diversity.

The study of social and cultural anthropology offers critical insight into the continuities as well as dynamics of social change and the development of societies, and challenges cultural assumptions. This course holds International Baccalaureate weight and is a mandatory International Baccalaureate Career-Related Programme Course in grades 11 & 12.
