The Social Studies site
is one of the six major areas or "houses" of School Without Walls. Each area has a specific curriculum focus.

The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District recognizes that the Internet has changed the nature of communication and collaboration. School Without Walls promotes learning and resource sharing through the medium of the Web. The various sections provide tools for teachers, students and parents. All resources are free to anyone involved in teaching or learning.
