CLASSICAL CONVERSATIONS: Geography

Learning can be FUN, and is most effective when the student is fully engaged, enjoying the process. The Classical Conversations Foundations program joins the richness of quality, Christian educational content with various ways of learning (song, art, movement, games, sign language, memory work and more!) to cement key material in the minds of each student.

In this session, your student will participate in a fun and active sampling of such a lesson, cementing key world geography facts, using the above methods.
