SC Geography - Curriculum

 

 

Geography is concerned with the study of the earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these, including the distribution of populations and resources, land use, and industries. Through their study of geography, students develop both an understanding of the changing relationships between the physical and human worlds and geographical skills that will help them to make informed judgements about issues at local, national and international levels.
