Your teen will travel all over the globe to explore the wonders of the world via this physical and cultural study of the earth and mankind. His knowledge of Creation, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, etc., provides him a vital beginning for this study! While he is enjoying the classroom experience, the lessons from his geography teacher from Abeka Academy will help him, along with his video classmates, build a more thorough knowledge of the religions, languages, customs, historic backgrounds, resources, industries, and people of each country and continent represented. It is a big world! As he becomes acquainted with the students on the video, he will feel as though he is a part of the class. The teacher will even pause to allow “classmates watching” opportunity to participate in the reviews and drills.
The prerecorded online video streaming or DVDs give you the flexibility to set your own daily schedule. The video lease provides you with a full full 6 months to complete the 85 lessons, which take 40–50 minutes of viewing time each. You also have the option to purchase either the tuition and books or tuition only (for those who may already have some of the materials and wish to purchase individual items separately). Both options include the assessment materials, a video manual to help you stay on track with the video teacher, and record-keeping progress reports to document progress through the school year.
Abeka Academy also offers the option of Independent Study, in which you keep your teen’s academic records, or our Accredited Program. Our Accredited Program does not cost a penny more and provides official report cards, an official transcript, and free standardized testing. It also gives you the option to choose digital assessments. With either option, academic assistance is only a phone call or an e-mail away. One semester. Recommended grade 9.
