Are you tired of the rigid structure of traditional homeschooling? Do you dream of a learning experience that ignites your child’s curiosity and passion? Your dreams are about to come true. It’s time to explore the world of unit studies.
What Are Unit Studies?
A unit study is a thematic approach to learning that weaves together various subjects around a central topic. Instead of compartmentalizing knowledge into separate subjects like math, science, and history, unit studies create a rich tapestry of interconnected learning. For example, a unit on “Dinosaurs” might explore paleontology, geology, writing, and art.

Homeschooling with Unit Studies
Homeschooling with unit studies offers unparalleled flexibility and freedom. You can design your own units or choose from a plethora of pre-made resources. The possibilities are endless!
When I was actively homeschooling, I created my own unit studies. It was a lot of fun, but creating my own took a lot of time.
Time in hindsight that would have been better spent learning with my kids. That’s why now when I work with clients who are ready to explore the magic of interest-led learning with unit studies I send them over to The Waldock Way.
Unit studies from The Waldock Way are designed to support you as you navigate interest-led homeschooling. Each unit includes book lists, videos, hands-on activities, games for learning, and links to additional resources to support every style of learner. The work has been done for you, saving you precious time.
They’ve also added something NEW – Discovery Decks. These decks are designed to pair with the homeschool unit studies. They have 20 common questions that children are naturally curious about along with a QR code to a video that will help them find the answer and learn more.
Waldock Way’s unit studies stand out significantly from others we used in our homeschool. What sets them apart is their remarkable affordability, making quality resources accessible to more families.
Additionally, they’re incredibly easy to implement, especially in multi-aged homeschool settings.
But perhaps most importantly, The Waldock Way truly embodies interest-led learning. From the magic of Hogwarts to the vastness of space, from the thrill of wilderness survival to the excitement of global exploration, there’s an engaging and educational unit for every child’s unique passion.
By incorporating interest-led unit studies into your homeschool, you’re creating an environment where learning is an adventure, not a chore. Your child will develop a deep appreciation for knowledge and a lifelong love of learning.
The Power of Interest-Led Unit Studies
When unit studies are interest-led, they become even more magical. By allowing your child to choose the topics that fascinate them, you tap into an endless well of motivation. Interest-led unit studies foster:
- Deep engagement: Children are more likely to delve deeply into subjects they love.
- Critical thinking: As they explore their chosen topics, children develop strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Creativity: Unit studies encourage imaginative expression through art, writing, and other creative outlets.
- Lifelong learning: By cultivating a love for learning, you’re setting the stage for a lifetime of intellectual curiosity.
- Customization: Unit studies allow you to tailor your child’s education to their unique strengths and interests.
Embracing unit studies is like unlocking a treasure chest of endless possibilities for your child’s education. By fostering a love of learning, sparking curiosity, and encouraging deep engagement, interest-led unit studies transform the homeschool experience into an unforgettable journey. With resources like those you find at The Waldock Way, incorporating unit studies into your homeschool has never been easier or more rewarding.
So why wait? Ignite your child’s passion for learning today and watch their imagination soar!
