Tour a Country: Learning about Other Lands and Peoples

Pack your bags and don’t forget to bring your camera! Tour a Country is a hands-on student course that provides an engaging introduction to world cultures and geography. The suggested schedule covers one country per month in two lessons per week. If your child is eager to learn more, additional time can be set aside each week for enrichment activities included in the course.

This course guides your child through different countries which have been selected for their historical, geographical, and cultural features. Your child will “tour” a country each month and create a travel brochure for each. By the end of the year, your child will have completed eight travel brochures and have a passport brimming with exciting memories!

Each country tour includes:

• Passport
• Travel brochure
• Twenty or more full-color images of native animals, historical people or places, Catholic shrines, and saints to be used in travel brochure
