What is Continent Club? WTV's geography enrichment program for grades 1 - 5. Students/Parents/Guardians download the study materials and have fun together exploring the world through geography. Studying for Check Day is optional, but heavily encouraged, to bridge the geography knowledge gap. It's a wonderful way to build a foundation for global literacy and inspire curiosity about the world, initiating your student's first steps to become a global citizen.
Where/When? Students study at home and are individually tested at school from 8:15 to 10:15 AM in the school cafeteria.
Email the Continent Club Coordinators for more information: continentclub@wtvptc.org
