FAQs

  1. Is this curriculum only for homeschoolers?

No, the curriculum is for anyone who chooses to supplement their child’s education at home after they’re back from school. It’s great for parents who wish to spend some quality time with their child exploring the world around them. 


Our kindergarten curriculum aligns with global educational standards and slightly exceeds the expected level for a child’s age. This also makes it an ideal comprehensive curriculum suitable for parents who choose to homeschool their children.

 

  1. What is unit style studies? 

Unlike conventional teaching plans and curriculums, Unit Style Studies integrates learning through interdisciplinary unit studies. Curriculums adopting this approach are usually organized into three-month bursts instead of the traditional six-month semester structure. The main goal is to eliminate the disjointed approach often found in traditional education where subjects like math, science, history, and language arts are treated as isolated islands of learning. Instead, each unit is meticulously designed to weave together various subjects, creating a cohesive network of knowledge that mirrors the interconnectedness of the natural world.

 

  1. Can I buy a single book instead of the full set? 

Yes, you can! One of the benefits of following our Unit Style Study curriculum is that it's designed to accommodate individual preferences. If you find that your child enjoys nature more than anything else, then you can purchase our Unit 3 book from the kindergarten curriculum. Each standalone book is meticulously crafted to provide a comprehensive learning experience across all subjects while it delves deeply into a specific theme that resonates with your child’s passion.
