Our World Cultures curriculum is designed to move around various regions of the world, grouped by common characteristics (though we will naturally study the differences within areas as well!)
After some basic skills review, we start here in the U.S., where most students are more familiar, and then move out around the world. Units generally take between 3-6 weeks, depending on the diversity and content within them.
