Catholic Homeschooling
Unit Studies

Homeschooling unit studies are a great way to incorporate learning a lot of subjects with a variety of aged students. We made the switch to more unit studies in our curriculum when I realized that workbooks weren't working for everyone and I was spending too much of my day policing everyone instead of teaching them!

If you haven't checked out my page on the benefits of unit studies, feel free to take a break and go do that here. I'll be waiting for you to return!

The next thing I realized was that there aren't many (if any) already made up unit studies that are specifically Catholic! Yes, you can take other unit studies and add your own Catholicism to it, but if you're looking for something that is pre-made and authentically Catholic, then I think I have the solution for you.

It all begins with our first Catholic unit study about the late, great, Pope John Paul II. My oldest three daughters had to do something called a "major work" for a girls' club they are in, so we decided they would write a unit study on JPII.

This got me to thinking that there should be a series of unit studies based on the great saints of our faith. Therefore, what will follow (all in due time, of course) is a series called "Saints Throughout the Centuries". Each unit study will be centered on one saint and will cover a variety of different subjects over a three to four week time frame.

Check back often to see which saints have been added, or sign up for my newsletter to keep updated on new releases.

Each link below will take you to a specific page that will lay out the details for the homeschooling unit study as well as give you pricing and the ability to order the type of copy you want: download-able, CD or hard copy.

Unit Studies....What do those words mean to you????

I'd love to hear about your experiences with unit studies! Do you have any experience? Have you been afraid to try them? Do you do them all the time and love them?

You can also tell me what you'd like to see in a unit study. Are there any particular saints that you'd like to study? Particular topics?

Share your thoughts, ideas and even a picture with all of us so that we can learn from each other. I'll also take your suggestions and comments into consideration when designing my unit studies. Join the fun, build your own page on my website and help me to give you the kind of product you want!
