Geography is all about understanding the connections between humans and nature as well as between each other.
In an ever-changing world that is becoming more and more globalized, it is important to see how interdependent we are, and the impacts of our actions on economic, social, political and environmental realms.
Geography will help students learn skills they need to help them solve real-world problems.
As we work with community partners, students will gain insight into possible job opportunities. Students will also engage in cross-curricular activities that will exercise their innovation and creativity!
