For high school grades 9-12: one-year course / one high school credit when paired with the activities found in the Teacher Guide (sold separately here or as part of the complete set here).
World Geography and Cultures begins with the conviction that God is the Creator of the earth and all who inhabit it. Students are invited to explore the world He made—its landforms (since the Flood), climates, oceans, resources, and peoples—while developing an understanding of how geography shapes human life, culture, and history.
Textbook Features
Through stunning photography, helpful diagrams, data charts, a wide variety of maps, and concise textual explanations, teens will deepen their understanding of geography and cultures and be motivated to explore further on their own.
Character, Curiosity, and Compassion
This course was designed with more than academic goals in mind. As students encounter diverse cultures, social challenges, and people groups around the world, they are invited to develop compassion, perspective, and a growing awareness of needs beyond their own experience. Themes of stewardship and responsibility run throughout the regional studies, encouraging students to think carefully about how people care for the land and one another. Perhaps most importantly, the course was built to protect what matters most in a young learner: curiosity, wonder, and a genuine desire to keep exploring.
