Geography Geography is the study of the interaction of people, space and places on earth. The geography programme develops the student's ability to recognize and explain how natural processes and human activity shape the world. Students learn to read, recognize and interpret information from maps, tables, graphs, and texts in order to solve problems. Geography allows students to integrate an interdisciplinary approach to concepts by drawing upon ecology, economics, history, math and sciences. It also requires application of critical thinking to understand and deal with current issues of local, national, and international importance.
Students interact with the natural and cultural environment via field trips.
Junior level students do independent research which is presented in map poster or model format. Senior level students do research using traditional and new resources and present their work in proper written and oral formats. The geography programme fosters a caring for our global community and fragile natural environment. By offering students a journey through world history from ancient times to the twentieth century, the programme endeavours to nurture the historical imagination and to foster an appreciation of the relationship between past and present. As they move from ancient notions of justice, society and good government to the complexities of twentieth-century ideologies, students are encouraged to reflect on social and political issues.
