World of Birds
A 16-week biology adventure for middle schoolers—igniting a love of science, right in your back yard.
Don’t miss out—join the waitlist!
You know the rhythm all too well—math, grammar, lunch, repeat.
The lessons get done, the boxes get checked… but the excitement?
That wide-eyed wonder that used to light up your homeschool day?
It’s gone a little quiet lately.
And if you’re feeling it, your middle schooler is too.
…but what if the joy of learning isn’t gone… it’s just waiting for the right spark?
That spark doesn’t need a full curriculum overhaul.
Sometimes, one engaging elective is all it takes to shift the energy—from going through the motions to waking up curious.
World of Birds does just that—nudging your middle schooler out of auto‑pilot and into a world of discovery where learning feels less like work… and a lot more like wonder.
Introducing
The science elective that gets your middle schooler excited to learn—and lets you sip your coffee while they do it.
No nagging. No late-night prep. Just 16 weeks of curiosity-fueled biology that sparks wonder, builds real science skills, and gives you both a breather from the box-checking grind.
World of Birds is an engaging, open-and-go course designed with your busy family in mind. Inside you’ll find:
14 DELIGHT-FILLED VIDEO LESSONS
Bite-sized instruction that feels more like a field trip than ‘real’ schoolwork — making science engaging and accessible for even the most reluctant learner.
HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES & STEP-BY-STEP GUIDES
Fun, low-prep activities that bring lessons into real life and grow wonder at God’s creation. We’ll walk your student through doing independently, step-by-step, so you don’t have to.
EXPLORER’S HANDBOOK
It’s note-taking meets nature journaling, and your student will use it to build study skills while sketching, answering discussion questions, and reflecting on what they’ve learned.
GRADED-FOR-YOU QUIZZES & EXAMS
These graded-for-you assessments measure understanding and build confidence in your learner while giving you the peace of mind that they’re actually absorbing what they’ve learned.
PARENT CURRICULUM GUIDE
You’ll get this at-a-glance course roadmap, so you always know exactly what your child is learning (without having to go through the whole course yourself)!
It’s easy to get bogged down in academics (and occasionally overwhelmed), but I needed an additional elective…
This course was refreshing and enjoyable and gave me something to look forward to, even at my most mentally depleted. It has been easily manageable, leaving time to focus on more demanding tasks.
The hands-on observations were not only important for solidifying the material, they made for some great memories with my father.

I needed to find something more in depth that my daughter could do mostly on her own.
I was most concerned that an online class wouldn’t work well for her and I’d have to spend a lot of time reteaching the material. This hasn’t been the case at all. Instead, she’s been able to be very independent with the work and have great discussions about what she’s learning.
I LOVE the set up of the notes and study guide. Not only does your program teach science, it is teaching note taking and studying skills as well. These are such important skills that don’t happen overnight.
The quizzes and tests have required studying, but aren’t overly challenging so as to cause my daughter to feel discouraged. In fact, she’s gained a lot of confidence in her ability to study and take tests.
Everything You Need to Know
What exactly is covered in this course?
Think birding is just a bunch of fluff? Think again. World of Birds takes a multidisciplinary approach to science. It includes topics like biology, ecology, physiology, and behavior, as well as practical skills like identification and observation.
We’ll explore everything from feathers, flight, and migration to beaks, nests, songs, and survival strategies — plus how birds reflect God’s design and provision throughout Scripture. You can peek at the full course Scope & Sequence here.
What’s included with my purchase? Do I need to buy anything else?
You’ll get everything you need to make this course a simple and joyful experience:
- 14 fun-filled, pre-recorded video lessons
- A downloadable Explorer’s Handbook with outlines, study guides, and hands-on activities
- A simple parent guide to help keep your kiddo on track
- Weekly quizzes and two graded-for-you exams
While this course won’t have an extensive lab supply list like some of our high school courses, your student will need some supplies to complete the hands-on activities. You can find the supply list here.
When does the course start?
World of Birds will be released in January 2026! Your child will have six full months of access from the date you begin the course.
How long will we have access to the course?
Once you hit “start,” your student will have a full six months to complete the course. You’re in control of your schedule — and there’s plenty of wiggle room built into this 16-week curriculum. (Life happens. We get it!)
Do the videos need to be watched on specific days?
Nope! Lessons unlock as you go, and your student can watch them anytime — morning, noon, or even from the hammock during spring migration. Each video can be rewatched as often as they like.
How much time does it take each week?
Plan for a sweet spot of about 30 minutes a day, three to four days per week. That includes time to watch the video lesson, take notes, do the activities, and review. But the pace is totally up to you: stretch it out, slow it down, or dive deeper if your curious learner wants to discover more. It’s all about what works for your homeschool rhythm.
Can I enroll more than one child in this course?
Each student needs their own registration to access the online portal, quizzes, exams, and progress tracking, so they do need to enroll separately. But don’t worry — we’ve got sibling discounts! 👇
Do you offer sibling discounts?
Yes! Families enrolling multiple students (from the same immediate family) in the same course get:
- 50% off the second student
- 75% off the third and fourth student
Discounts are automatically applied at checkout.
Can I use this course outside the U.S.?
Absolutely! Birds are everywhere — and this course is designed with global learners in mind. You can join us from anywhere with internet access.
Can I pay using an ESA (Educational Savings Account)?
We are an approved vendor with several ESAs and are adding more all the time! If we’re not on your state’s list yet let us know. We’re happy to apply! Just send us a request here.
What if it’s not a good fit?
We think you’ll love World of Birds, but if it doesn’t turn out to be a great fit for your family, you’re covered by our 100% money-back, happiness guarantee — within 30 days of your course start date OR 1 year from purchase (whichever comes first). Just send us an email, and we’ll take care of you.
A FEW OF THE THINGS YOUR STUDENT WILL LEARN…
How feathers, beaks, feet, and bones reveal God’s brilliant design
What birds are really saying through their calls and songs — and how to listen
Why some parrots glow, and how kingfishers inspired modern technology
How you can tell what a bird eats — just by looking at its beak
And what the birds of Scripture reveal about God’s love for us
and so much more!
We have a Fabulous Fit Promise. We want this course to be a fabulous fit for your family. Based on our parent and student feedback, we think you’ll be delighted with the course.
However, we offer a 100% money-back, happiness guarantee within 30 days of the course start date OR 1 year from purchase date (whichever is less).
We used your elementary level courses, and loved them. I was hoping the middle school level class would be a good fit for us…
It totally was! All the parts of the class work really well together. I’ve watched the videos with my kids and we’ve learned so much. (I LOVE how it teaches them note-taking along with everything else. Such an important life skill!) This class has been great for my whole family!
Next semester, you could keep trudging through the same middle school slump…
Or you could reignite curiosity — without the burnout, boredom, & schoolwork battles — with science your kids will love.
