Polymath: The How To Book 1 - UK Year 5 / US Grade 4

Your child’s most powerful subject isn’t Maths or English. It’s Belief.

Jool’s How to Change the World is a 3-month Polymath course for children aged 8–10 who want to think deeply, write boldly, and ask the questions adults are too afraid to.

Aimed at high-ability learners and curious homeschoolers, this book takes students through twelve global themes—from leadership to justice, climate change to corruption—using real case studies, debates, and essay writing tasks that build true intellectual muscle.

This isn't just an English workbook. It's a philosophy, history, ethics, and public speaking course rolled into one.
