What is geography?
"Geography is, in the broadest sense, an education for life and for living. Learning through geography – whether gained through formal learning or experientially through travel, fieldwork and expeditions – helps us all to be more socially and environmentally sensitive, informed and responsible citizens and employees.
Geography informs us about:
- The places and communities in which we live and work
- Our natural environments and the pressures they face
- The interconnectedness of the world and our communities within it
- How and why the world is changing, globally and locally
- How our individual and societal
actions contribute to those changes - The choices that exist in managing our world for the future
- The importance of location in business and decision-making" 1
From Year 6 to 8, students follow a combination of English and Italian Curricula. Years 9 and 10, the Cambridge International Curriculum where IGCSE programme is used to deliver both IGCSE Geography and IGCSE Environmental Management.
