The upper school history and social sciences curriculum is based on the belief that Harpeth Hall students need a basic understanding of how humanity has tried to establish a stable government and economic well-being. All students are required to take three years of history: World Cultures (9th), Modern World History (10th), and United States History (11th). A variety of one-semester and full-year electives are also offered for 10th through 12th grades. Teachers expect students to master reading, writing, and research skills appropriate for their intellectual development. Students learn to approach the material as historians and social scientists and hone their ability to think and read with a critical eye.
