World Academy is an interdisciplinary program rooted in a yearlong regional study. Each year, students explore one area of the world through the lenses of history, geography, culture, literature, science, and the arts. The program offers two complementary learning experiences—Global Foundations and Scholars & Scribes. Families may choose one or both offerings to enrich their homeschool journey.

World Academy: Global Foundations
Global Foundations is one half of the World Academy program, offered on alternating days alongside Scholars & Scribes. In Global Foundations, students explore the year’s region of study through an integrated hands-on STEAM approach to history, geography, the arts, and science. With an additional emphasis on culture and the humanities, students examine the people, places, and events that have shaped the region over time. Learning is interactive and project-based, with meaningful arts integration woven throughout. From building ancient tools to creating topographical maps, students gain a deep, contextual understanding of the world through creative and collaborative work.
