What the site offers
The site provides a complete IB DP Geography course — covering all six core and higher level units, the geographic themes, and supporting resources for exam preparation, geographic skills, and the extended essay. Lessons are built around detailed examples and case studies drawn from over 20 regions worldwide, and are delivered through a range of teaching approaches including visual stimulus, photography, podcasts, and more.
Some resources are freely available to everyone — including Geographic Skills, Exam style questions, Key Terms, and podcasts.geographyalltheway.com. Full course content is available through an individual or whole school subscription.
The story
geographyalltheway.com has been online since 2006 — starting as a place to share teaching resources and growing over nearly 20 years into a comprehensive IB DP Geography course used by teachers and students around the world. It is a continually evolving repository, with new content and approaches being added regularly.
In June 2019, geographyalltheway.com became a strategic partner of Discover the World Education.

geographyalltheway.com provides our teaching staff with a “great go to site” for case studies, skills development, exam revision – all in one resource! The easy to read format, updated material, simple navigation and breadth of activities make it a pleasure for all to use.
We love the resource for planning our courses, clarifying the syllabus, extending our students, providing inspiration and direction when developing our own material and as a last-minute rescue when taking that one last step into the classroom!
We would be lost without it (and that is not good for any Geographer).
Alan Parkinson
An astonishing teacher-produced site which continues to outperform any of the major educational publishers’ offerings in terms of creativity, relevance and geographical rigour. A subscription to the site is an absolute bargain for any school, whether following IB DP Geography or not. The future of geography is bright, and this site will take you all the way…
