Eight ways of seeing one Earth. A path of lessons for young explorers aged 13 to 16, built to prepare you for the future, not the past. Every lesson is interactive, uses real maps, real photos and live data, and shows how everything on our planet is connected.
Imagine you are visiting Earth for the very first time. You would find a planet wrapped in air and water, lit by a star, and alive: millions of kinds of living things, from bacteria to blue whales. And among them you would find more than 8 billion people who build cities, grow food, trade, make laws, pray, invent machines, raise families and dream about the future.
How could you understand all of that? Not through one window. You would need to look at the same Earth through eight different windows, and then notice how every view connects to all the others. That is what the Global Curriculum does.
Everything is explained as if you had just arrived on Earth, so no lesson assumes you already know the words.
We never study one piece on its own. The 8 Cultures of life, the four forces and the 8 aspects always appear together.
Real world maps, real photos, live data from scientists, and facts checked against today’s best sources.
Built to prepare you for the world you will live in: new technologies, a changing climate, and life on a connected planet.
Each aspect asks its own big question. Five curricula are open now: four are complete, and the Social Curriculum is opening one lesson at a time. The other three are being designed. Tap an open aspect to jump to its curriculum.
