Online Unit Studies

The curriculum integrates subjects naturally through thematic units, combining history, geography, reading, writing, and hands-on projects around coherent topics.

The Ancient Greece unit combines historical study, geography with Google Maps, book reading, writing through travel journals, and hands-on projects like creating Greek costumes and vases

The curriculum provides some guidance for using digital tools but limited pedagogical support for parents teaching multiple subjects.

Includes tutorials for online tools like Canva and Emaze, and lists needed resources upfront, but review doesn't mention comprehensive teaching guides or background knowledge support

The curriculum provides structured lesson sequences but relies heavily on external websites and videos rather than direct instructional content.

Lessons are presented in order with clear activities, but 'most of the course content links within lessons take you to other websites for resources, activities, videos, information, and tools'

The curriculum incorporates reading, writing, and research skills but may lack systematic development of core academic skills in each subject area.

Students read books, write travel journals, and answer comprehension questions, but the review notes these are 'not complete, year-long courses' and suggests pairing with other curricula

Units build coherent knowledge within each topic but lack systematic progression across the broader curriculum.

Individual studies like Ancient Greece cover comprehensive content from Minoan civilization through Greek gods, but the collection consists of standalone units without clear knowledge-building sequence

Limited evidence of systematic retrieval practice or cumulative review across units.

Students answer questions and post responses online during units, but no mention of spaced review or retrieval practice to reinforce learning from completed units
