Geography has never been more important than it is now. Humans have never been more networked, and we have never known so much about the natural world. Three core concepts – global interactions, sustainability and equality – sit at the heart of 21st century geography. The Geography course integrates physical, environmental and human geography, and ensures that students acquire elements of both socio-economic and scientific methodologies. Geography takes advantage of its position to examine relevant concepts and ideas from a wide variety of disciplines. This helps students develop life skills and have an appreciation of, and a respect for, alternative approaches, viewpoints and ideas. There are four key concepts framing the IB Geography Course. These are Place, Process, Power and Possibilities and two organising concepts of Scale and Spatial interaction. Students at SL and HL study optional geographic themes (two at SL and three at HL) and a common Global Change core. HL students also study Global Interactions. At both HL and SL, students acquire a range of transferable skills including digital mapping, infographics, statistical calculations, extended writing, data research, processing, interpretation and the application of ICT including GIS.
CRITERIA FOR ENTRY: Sevenoaks is a strongly academic school and we select students we believe will flourish in an intellectually exciting environment. All candidates are assessed through entrance tests, group discussion tasks and references or reports from the candidate’s current school.
