Unit Studies

Unit Studies are based on classical literature. Our unit studies are unique in several ways. We use "micro burst" teaching combined with a Charlotte Mason style of learning. As you read the story to your child, or they read independently, lessons and activities which pertain to history, science, health, language, art, and Bible are gathered from that chapter. We reference web sites and/or supplemental books (which can usually be found at your library, but are not required) on some of the activities. All weblinks referenced in the book are also on a cd for the printed versions of the unit study. All you have to do is put the cd in and click on the links. Because our unit studies are not used for an entire year but rather a break from your core curriculum, a more eclectic and varied path is taken. Worksheets have been designed for many of the activities and are included with the unit study. The "micro burst" style is shorter, random, and intriguing. This helps keep the student from getting bogged down in a book too much and having it feel like work. We want your student to learn and still be ready to read more. Our activities were chosen with care and with the goal of learning life's lessons through the story.
