Q. I homeschool my child(ren). Can I buy an individual subscription?
A. The minimum order is ten subscriptions. If you know other homeschoolers in your area, you might consider splitting an order.
Q. Can I donate subscriptions for my (grand)child's class?
A. Yes! After talking with the child's teacher, please call 800 368 2728 (U.S. only) to place the order. Subscriptions for 10 to 199 children cost $3.95 per student per year. The PTA or other parents may be able to share the costs. Or perhaps a community group or local business would sponsor a class or school subscription.
Q. I live outside the U.S. Can my school subscribe to National Geographic Explorer?
A. Unfortunately, this magazine is available only in the United States.
Q. What's the difference between National Geographic Kids and National Geographic Explorer magazines?
A. In 1975 the National Geographic Society created World, a general-interest magazine for children to use at home, on their own. There are ten issues a year. In September 2002 World changed its name to National Geographic Kids. Their website includes subscription information.
National Geographic Explorer is an instructional magazine created for teachers and students to use at school. It is part of National Geographic School Publishing's growing initiative to create engaging, high-caliber, nonfiction products for the classroom. Articles reinforce curriculum content, and activities hone key reading and writing skills. Each issue comes with an eight-page Teacher's Guide that offers background information, discussion questions, and suggestions on incorporating the magazine into your lessons.
Q. Is National Geographic Explorer magazine related to the Explorer program on cable television?
A. Both are products of the National Geographic Society, but they are produced by different teams for different audiences. Explorer airs every Sunday evening on the National Geographic Channel. Please check your local listings for details.
