The land is where
our roots are. The children must be taught to feel
and live in harmony with the Earth.
If the idea of the universe is presented to the child
in the right way, it will do more for him than just
arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration
and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and
more satisfying. |

Geography at Eton is multi-faceted.
Children learn about the geological makeup of our
planet, while working with the geography materials
which reinforce language, fine motor coordination
and memory development. By using flags of the world
and the large wooden map puzzles, the children memorize
the names, shapes, and locations of many countries.
This work broadens to include gathering information
about various cultures, climates, landmarks, and common
land formations such as islands, peninsulas, gulfs,
etc. Geography is very closely linked with cultural
studies which emphasize the universal needs of human
beings and an appreciation of diversity. |
