History at TBS takes students on a journey from Ancient Rome to the 21^st century. Along the way they learn how to interpret visual, physical, written and oral historical sources; critically analyse historical events, and gain knowledge of the past to help them build a better future.

Students learn essay writing and decision making skills. Studying history helps to prepare students for further academic study, increases their interest and curiosity for the past, different countries and cultures and most importantly teaches students to think for themselves.
