I have used the VWG method for several years within my classroom. Now by watching the DVDs for just 15 minutes twice a week, my students are able to learn and KNOW the name and location of every country in the world in one year. They also learn interesting facts about each country and about geography in general.
In our classical approach to education, geography is the grammar of history and provides the “hooks” for further understanding. Knowing the current countries enriches my students’ study of ancient and modern history, as they relate the present to the past and discover the links between the two. My students have accomplished this challenge with excitement and ease. This method is absolutely the most entertaining, efficient, and successful way to learn geography, and it works for older learners, too! I love to see the confidence students develop as they learn geography so quickly and easily. I highly recommend this program to everyone and promise that it works!

"I am amazed that by casually looking over the first pictography, I am able to place Burundi and Djibouti on a map of Africa. I promise that I never heard of these places before. This book is definitely a good resource, not just for the students, but also for you as a life-long learner."

"The Visual World Geography Curriculum is the best tool for preparing students to compete in the National Geographic Bee. Those whose mental maps are based upon these pictographies, have a huge advantage... Pictographies are visual organizers of a nation's relative size, location, borders, and shape, so students easily, and really just automatically recall this information...Whole classrooms have been tested--before and after being exposed to the VWG Curriculum, and it is truly amazing to see how students go from not knowing any name-place facts, to knowing all of them!
