The Arctic Unit Study invites learners to explore one of Earth's most fascinating regions through science, geography, history, culture, music, climate, folklore, and creative expression, all connected by a single engaging theme: the Arctic.

​

This unit includes three Learning Adventures:

​

Arctic Holidays – Explore Arctic geography, Indigenous cultures, Nordic traditions, and folklore while discovering how environments shape celebrations worldwide.

​

In the Hall of the Mountain King: Sounds of the Arctic – Discover Edvard Grieg, Norwegian culture, storytelling through music, and create an original composition using Chrome Music Lab.

​

Permafrost & Climate Change: A Frozen Earth Experiment – Investigate permafrost, climate change, Earth's layers, and engineering through a hands-on dry ice experiment.

​

Created from a neurodivergent lived perspective, Raising Brain Learning Adventures are designed to support curious learners who thrive with connected, meaningful, and engaging learning experiences. Rather than memorizing isolated facts, students are encouraged to explore, ask questions, make discoveries, and see how ideas connect across subjects.

​

Our unit studies are designed to encourage rabbit-hole-style learning, where curiosity leads the way. While each unit provides a strong foundation and guided learning path, we encourage families to branch out, ask questions, and explore the topics that spark interest along the way.
