Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 11
Beginner - Advanced Level
Discover the world one adventure at a time! Learners will join our guide, Isabelle, as she explores iconic cities as well as lesser-known areas of the world. They will receive a letter full of information about the place that Isabelle is visiting. Each letter has its own vibrant artwork so they can imagine being there with Isabelle.

On her adventures, Isabelle will experience different cultures, cuisines, wildlife, landmarks, oddities, heritages, and more! She'll explore castles, trek up mountains, visit souks, wander forests, study ruins, partake in festivals, and sail the seven seas. Learners will experience and explore all these things too from the comfort of their home through Isabelle’s illustrated letters, field notes, and maps. This is the most unique and fun way to learn about the world through stories and fun facts! No boring textbooks needed.

Learners will choose from the many adventures that Isabelle has taken all around the world. 
Once registered for the class, learners will tell me which of Isabelle’s adventures they’ve chosen to explore. I will send them the letter, field notes, and map for the adventure of their choice. After exploring this new place, learners will be encouraged to complete a fun project to demonstrate their understanding.

*This is a learner-directed SELF-PACED class. Learners can only choose one adventure to explore in each class. If they would like to explore more than one, they are welcome to register for the class again. I encourage them to explore them all!
