In the Geography department at ISB we believe that there has never been a better or more important time to study geography.

​

It is our intent for the study of Geography to help make sense of the world around you. It's hands on, relevant, and fun. Whatever your passion for the world – fascination with landscapes or concerns about sustainability – geography will provide you with knowledge and transferable skills that will reward you personally and advance you professionally.

​

We believe that our students deserve a broad and ambitious Geography curriculum, rich in skills and knowledge that stimulates curiosity and a wonder of their world, and which best prepares them for the many possible futures that lie ahead.

​

We want to enable our students to be informed and conscientious, present and future citizens of their world. We aim to stimulate curiosity and a wonder of their world to enable them to become empowered global citizens, who have a cultural literacy and are prepared for future learning or employment.  Our curriculum is designed around the English National Curriculum and influenced by the Geographical Association’s manifesto for Geography. It provides opportunities for students to develop their geographical skills, knowledge and understanding and progressively develop these as they move through Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

​

The key geographical concepts that underpin our curriculum include place, interdependence, sustainable development, and resilience.’
