Kids Discover Online is a multimedia, supplemental curriculum designed to ignite curiosity and build comprehensive knowledge in social studies and science for students in grades K through 8. Rather than acting as a full-subject curriculum that teaches composition or math, it functions as a powerful digital library that offers in-depth content organized into Units, Topics, and QuickReads. The platform's methodology leverages a diverse range of engaging content types—including high-quality videos, infographics, and interactive digital text—to enhance reading comprehension and retention in subjects that complement a core language arts program.
The curriculum provides a robust library covering ten major subject areas, making it an excellent resource for homeschoolers looking for secular or non-religious content in these fields. Key subjects include American History, World History, Geography, and Historical Figures on the social studies side. In science, it covers Earth Science, Life Science, Physical Science, Space Science, and Human Body. This wide array of non-core subjects is invaluable for parents seeking to deepen their child's understanding of the world without requiring extensive parent preparation.
Kids Discover Online uses a flexible, unit-study approach where content is grouped thematically, allowing families to easily follow their child's interests or align with other homeschool studies. For instructional support, the platform provides teacher-facing resources, including lesson plans and vocabulary lists for various units. While it is not a complete K-8 curriculum, its strength lies in providing captivating, high-interest content that encourages independent exploration and deep, contextual learning in critical humanities and STEM subjects.
