It's challenging to find a curriculum to meet all of the needs of your particular child. Most children have areas of strength and areas of weakness. Most educational curriculum is designed to hit that middle ground. Admittedly, there are children in the middle, but most are not in the middle of one grade level for all subjects. This curriculum is not the answer to this dilemma. There will always be a need for modifications, but the design of Geo-Centric Learning is such that students have easy entry and "go-beyond" capability in one location.
Another advantage of Geo-Centric Learning is that it's engaging. To learn math within the context of learning about Uganda or learn economics while learning about French Polynesia is something that will keep students interested and curious. Geography and countries of the world are the contextual backdrop for learning music, art, and technology in addition to core subjects.
When a child figures out that he can direct his learning and that he can keep going down a path, initiative turns into a lifelong-learning habit. When a child can choose to go deeper, the door opens to authentic learning. Encourage your child today!
