Level 5 & 6 Geography<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

Charlotte Mason believed the study of geography was foundational to a student\u2019s education. Ideally, a student would continue the study of geography throughout high school, one 0.50-credit course each year. We recommend at least TWO 0.50-credit courses of study for each student before graduation.\n

The Geography courses are designed to introduce students to the general landforms of the world but also a consideration of the people and cultures of the past and present. There is a focus in the curated articles in understanding the inter-relationships of people across cultural and political boundaries. The courses also include exposure to earth studies which can be extended through science coursework.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This course will require students to complete map work related to the readings in geography. As they read the curated articles, or current articles of your choice, they should also familiarize themselves with where, exactly, in the world these events are taking place. <\/span><\/p><\/div>
