Frequently Asked Questions

What are Schoolhouse Discoveries kits?

Schoolhouse Discoveries kits are unit study kits. The kits are designed to gather many subjects into one theme to integrate students’ learning and application. The themed study explores the topic through the lenses of multiple subjects as it weaves together science, social studies, reading, writing, geography, arts & crafts, music, movement, and more!

What is a Unit Study?

A unit study curriculum combines different subjects like reading, writing, science, and history into a cohesive exploration of a specific theme. It offers a comprehensive learning approach, emphasizing hands-on activities and adaptability to individual needs. This method fosters engagement and real-world application, making it valuable for immersive homeschooling experiences. 

What is included in each kit?

  • Each Early Expeditions kit (K-4th grade) includes an illustrated storybook, full-color instruction teaching guide, printed activity pages, and most of the art/craft/sensory supplies needed to complete the activities for each theme.
  • Each Advanced Adventures kit (5th-8th grade) includes a chapter book, full-color instruction learning guide (written to the student), printed activity pages, and some of the supplies needed to complete the activities for each theme.

The instruction booklet included in every kit also includes: links to supplementary videos, digital copies of the worksheets (in case you’d like to print more!), a chart of all the state standards covered throughout the unit, and a shopping list for the basic items not included in the box. The Early Expeditions kit also includes a recommended book list in case you want to dive in deeper into the topic throughout the unit.

Do You Accept Bulk Orders/Purchase Orders?

My school or scholarship program only allows the purchase of a full kit? Can I order a sibling add-on separately?

Yes, you can order a sibling add-on separately if your school or scholarship program has purchased a full kit. Normally, sibling add-ons must be purchased alongside a full kit of the same theme and grade level. However, if your school or program has already submitted an order for the corresponding full kit, you may purchase the matching sibling add-on separately. Just be sure to include a note at checkout mentioning that you have a purchase order (PO) submitted by your school or program (please specify the program name) for the full kit.

The outcomes of the activities align with educational standards (a list of covered standards are included in every kit), ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.

This combination allows for a comprehensive and balanced educational journey, combining the flexibility of unit study kits with a structured foundation provided by a core curriculum.

Our unit study kits cover Science, Social Studies, Math, Language Arts, Art, P.E, Sensory play, cooking, and (when applicable) mindset, and health. Each kit theme includes a copy of the learning objectives for each theme and what subjects are covered in each kit.

How long does it take to complete a kit?

The Early Expeditions (K-4th grade) kits have eight lessons with three activities per lesson and Advanced Adventures (5th-8th grade) have four sections with three to six activities per section. If your family/class uses kits twice a week, it would take about four weeks to complete. Some learners stretch a theme out even longer by diving deeper into the topic with supplemental books, movies, and activities. Others use a kit four days a week and finish the unit in two weeks. Use the kits in ways that work best for your schedule.
