Geography Bee


ACSI Geography Bee

We are excited about participating in the very first ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International) Geography Bee in the Southeast region! Students in grades 3-8 will test their knowledge on April 27th when they travel to Landrum, South Carolina, for this special event.

Geography is a part of our school-wide curriculum. As we study and learn about the world and peoples that were created by God, we learn more about God Himself. All of creation reflects the handiwork of God and points us back to who He is and what He has done.

In 1994 the National Council for Geography Education developed six elements that include eighteen standards for a comprehensive study of Geography. These National Geography Standards coupled with Biblical Geography Benchmarks serve as a guideline for our Geography Bee preparation.

Over the next two months we will make a concerted effort to boost our geography skills as we prepare for this event. We plan to learn much and have fun in the process.
