The Global Explorers Curriculum Library is a growing online collection of literature-based country studies designed to help families and educators explore countries around the world through hands-on learning activities.

Inside the library, you’ll find ready-to-use lesson plans, printable resources, and cultural activities for kids that make it easy to bring geography, literature, science, art, music, cooking, and more into your homeschool or classroom.

Whether you choose to explore one or two countries a month or spend an entire semester traveling around the world, the curriculum is designed to adapt to your family’s unique learning style.

Every country study includes ready-to-use lesson plans and printable resources, including:

• Printable mapwork activities
• Global Explorers Journal pages
• Folk tale lessons and discussion prompts
• Writing activities and sentence strategies
• Science lessons and notebooking pages
• Art and craft projects
• Cooking and cultural activities
• Music and artist studies
• Hands-on games and activities

Our program incorporates geography, literature, science, art, music, and hands-on cultural activities into a flexible, family-style learning experience that can be adapted for multiple ages. With the library, everything is organized in one place, making it easy to choose the lessons and activities that fit your family’s interests and schedule.

The Curriculum Library is organized by continent, with individual country studies inside each collection. Simply choose a continent, select a country, and begin exploring. Printable resources are linked directly within each lesson, so you can quickly download exactly what you need when you need it.

New country studies are added regularly, giving members access to an ever-growing collection of lessons and resources.

At its heart, Global Explorers is designed to help you create fun and memorable learning experiences with your children through books, discussion, exploration, and hands-on cultural activities as you learn more about the world together.

Global Explorers is a literature-based curriculum. Most families borrow books from their local library, substitute books they already own, or choose from the alternate recommendations provided throughout the lesson plans.

You don’t need every suggested resource to enjoy the curriculum. The lessons are designed to be flexible, allowing you to use what works best for your family.

That said, if you plan to use Global Explorers over an extended period of time, there are a few books and resources we highly recommend to help you get the most out of the curriculum.

Is this a complete curriculum?

The Curriculum Library focuses on geography and cultural studies while naturally integrating language arts, science, art, music, cooking, and character education. Many families use it alongside their favorite math program.

Can I teach multiple ages together?

Absolutely! Global Explorers was designed for family-style learning. Younger students can participate through stories, crafts, games, and coloring activities, while older students can complete notebooking pages, writing assignments, research projects, and independent reading.

How long does each country study take?

That’s entirely up to you! Some families spend a week exploring a country, while others enjoy two to four weeks or even longer. Simply explore at the pace that works best for your family.

Is Global Explorers a secular curriculum?

Yes. Global Explorers is a secular curriculum that explores countries and cultures through literature, geography, science, art, music, and hands-on activities. We encourage families to use the curriculum in a way that aligns with their own values and educational goals.
