Fun, interactive travel classes which are actually geography, history, & social studies in disguise.
​
Aimed at roughly ages 11-14.
​
During this academic year we are "travelling" through the USA. We've already covered the early history from when the English Settlers arrived, through to the Declaration of Independence. We've also already learned why the USA is a "Superpower" and learned about their economic, military, and political might.
We've learned all about foreign currency and exchange rates and even learned how and where the US Dollar is manufactured.
​
Before October half-term we'll be learning about some of the previous presidents as well as what's involved in becoming the president of the USA.
​
In the next term we'll start our "arm chair travels" in earnest and focus more on travel and tourism.
​
New students are always VERY welcome, and many return term after term.
