World Cultures: 

Big Ideas, Big Questions

A live, virtual, small-group, globally focused social studies course

This is not your typical social studies course. It is a carefully designed learning journey where students start with the facts and go deeper to explore the countries, people, and systems behind a major global topic.

 

Students will return to connected, cross-subject ideas, examine global questions from different perspectives, and apply what they learn through discussion, reflection, research, and presentation.

The Big Idea for 2026 / 2027

The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup was more than a football (soccer) tournament. ​ It was a window into the world —showing us how countries, cultures, histories, languages, migration, money, identity, and belonging are connected.​​​​
