National Geographic Explorer was first published in september 2001, and since then we have grown by leaps and bounds. And it is because we stuck to our fundamental belief in the unlimited curiosity and adventurer in every child, pairing it with the latest in educational pedagogy, were we able to come so far. In an increasing stressful environment for students in kindergarten through secondary schools, National Geographic Explorer has finally brought the fun, creativity and real world connections back into the classroom with its world-class content, unrivalled authority in content accuracy, overwhelmingly superior photography and award-winning editorial.To date, we have over 8,000,000 students using Explorer around the world. And our Explorer teacher community has given us important feedback every month to further improve our program and continue benefiting children and teachers everywhere.
