Common Questions about Global Explorers

What is the Global Explorers Club?
The Global Explorers Club is a homeschool geography curriculum designed to take your family on an educational journey around the world. Our program includes continent unit studies, engaging hands-on activities, and exclusive resources to make learning a fun and immersive experience.

Who is the Global Explorers Club for?
Our curriculum is designed for homeschooling families with elementary- and middle school-aged children. It’s perfect for those who want to incorporate global studies into their homeschooling routine and explore different countries and cultures together as a family.

What subjects are included?
Global Explorers is a literature-based supplemental program that includes concepts from the following subjects: language arts, geography and culture, creative arts, and character education. Additionally, applicable science topics are suggested for each country. A list of ways to implement practical math exercises to correspond with each country of study is also included.

To ensure all student learning objectives are covered in full, I recommend using a complete language arts and mathematics curriculum with each child. You can find a complete list of resources for both here.

How flexible is the curriculum?
Since it’s designed to be 100% flexible, Global Explorers offers your family the ability to set your own pace for your adventure around the world. Each unit study includes suggested activities and learning extensions across a variety of subjects.

Some families may spend 1-2 weeks working through the activities that appeal to them the most and then move on to another country, while other families may opt to move more slowly, incorporating additional learning extensions along the way.

Therefore, I suggest allowing your family’s schedule and the needs of your children to ultimately determine the pace and breadth of your global learning adventure.

How is the Global Explorers program organized?
Global Explorers utilizes Notion, an all-in-one workspace that allows users to plan, take notes, move lessons around, add bookmarks, embed videos, and more.

Every country study typically includes a recommended book to read along with a discussion guide, a folk tale, an artist and/or music study, a corresponding science topic, a virtue, and a “Making Words” activity along with links to other relevant online resources to explore.

What makes the Global Explorers curriculum unique is the completely customizable database that gives your family the flexibility to adjust each unit study to your needs. The curriculum template provides a base structured learning plan that you can then adapt at will. Easily add in supplemental resources you stumble upon, save web bookmarks and videos, update book lists — the list goes on and on.

What does a continent bundle include?
Each continent study includes detailed lesson plans, engaging activities, beautiful printables, and exclusive resources that cover geography, history, culture, and more. Our bundles also feature dedicated unit planners to help you stay organized and make the most of your educational journey.

Are your unit studies secular?
Yes, the Global Explorers Club offers secular unit studies. Our curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive and inclusive educational experience that respects diverse beliefs and backgrounds.

What is Notion? Do I have to use it?
Notion is an all-in-one online workspace that simplifies curriculum planning and record-keeping. While it’s not required, I do highly recommend trying it since the curriculum templates provide you with so much information and allow you to add your own personal notes and bookmarks as desired. Notion is 100% free to use.
