CurriculumCourse Description

Human Geography & Cultures is a yearlong course that focuses on the distribution process and effects of human populations on the planet. Through the course of the year we will study population migration, culture, religion, language, political geography, economic development, industry, agriculture, and urban geography. Through the use of case studies and other real world examples, students will develop an understanding of how geography is important and what causes people to move from one place to another.
