9th Grade Social Studies

Ninth grade social studies often sets the tone for high school humanities, inviting students to connect big historical patterns with the present. Our 9th Grade Social Studies collection brings together vetted, secular resources for homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers teaching learners around ages 14–15. You’ll find world history surveys, regional deep dives, civics introductions, and social science courses, along with discussion-focused programs and tutors who help teens practice argument and analysis. Every resource is reviewed for historical accuracy, inclusive perspectives, and age-appropriate rigor so students can build strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. Use the filters to explore by topic (ancient to modern world history, U.S. history, civics, or global studies), format (books, online courses, project-based curricula, or unit studies), and learner profile including ADHD, dyslexia, autism, giftedness, or 2e. Many families pair 9th grade social studies with complementary literature or philosophy from Modulo. If you’d like help choosing a path, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can suggest social studies options matched to your teen’s interests and goals.
