States & Nations Exploration

ABOUT States & Nations Exploration TRACK

Join us on a dynamic and engaging journey through U.S. states and countries around the world! We’re offering “a la carte” hybrid programs:

  • Quarter 2: State Showcase: Discover America

  • Quarter 3: World Showcase: Discover the Nations

For additional high impact learning experiences for Quarters 1 & 4, be sure to check out our Entrepreneurial / Business Track and other tracks!

Designed to spark curiosity and cultural awareness, this track gives students the opportunity to dive deep into geography, history, and global connections in a fun, hands-on way. Through these two exciting showcase events students will research, create, and present trifold displays featuring the unique landmarks, traditions, and histories of different places.

What students will explore:

  • History, geography, and culture

  • Unique traditions

  • Famous landmarks, historical events, and influential people

  • Cultural connections, global awareness, and diversity

Students will develop research, presentation, and creativity skills while sharing their knowledge with peers and other homeschool families.

Join us as we explore the world one state and one country at a time through these showcase experiences!
