Kareni Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 There are a few suggestions in this thread:Is there a geography curriculum designed for high school?. And more food for thought here: Anyone ever created their own World Geography??. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in MD Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 We used BJUP World Geography in 9th grade here. It is very good, but also has significant missions/christian content. The course covers physical and social/cultural geography on a global scale. We thought it was very good and thorough. I did find the Christian content to be a bit heavy handed or too much from time to time. But that was easy to solve....just told my ds not to bother with the missions sections from time to time. We thought it was a good course overall and easy to use at home....we just dropped the parts we thought were pushing the envelop further than we wanted to push it.

Laura in OH Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 We started the year with BJU Geography and, while it is obviously an excellent curriculum, it is just too text-booky for dd's learning style. Someone here recommended this one: http://www.ourlosbanos.com/homeschool/history/worldstudies.html It is a multi-level, literature approach and is much more engaging for dd ~ and it's FREE! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
