“Geography is, to my mind, a subject of high educational value. Its peculiar value lies in its fitness to nourish the mind with ideas, and to furnish the imagination with pictures. The child’s geography lesson should furnish just the sort of information which grown-up people care to possess.”
Charlotte Mason
The World Imagined: Sursum Corda’s Geography Scope & Flow
We strive to “furnish the imagination with pictures” about many places from our world as our students set out on their educational journey in Form I.
Form I
Each year, students will be revisiting the names of continents, oceans, and hemispheres, and zooming in on 3 countries through maps, story, geographical land and water features, food, and games.
We work through a three year rotation that allows us the ability to focus on our home country, our neighbors, and other countries among the other continents. By the end of our travels we will have been on all 7 continents.
Form II-IV
Geography is not a class period for students after Form I, but the subject continues to be studied in History and Plutarch!
