Course Catalog ID:

Subject Categories:
Social Studies / Social Science
Description

This is an exciting and interactive class that provides students with a solid foundation from which to study all other social sciences. Not only will students learn “where in the world” countries, capitals, and physical features are located, but they will also learn about the people and cultures in those places. Integrating physical, cultural, and political geography, this class strives to help students understand how a region’s landscape uniquely affects how its cultures develop. With recent news filled with reports of natural disasters, political tensions, and “hot topics” such as global warming and conservation, students can also expect to discuss current events and how to respond biblically to the world around them. As a reflection of God’s heart for the nations, this class will emphasize missions efforts in each region studied.

“I really liked this course because it gave me a nice overview of other countries outside the United States and their history, climates, and cultures. Plus a great teacher!”
