Principle Approach

Article that discusses the principled approach by Dorothy Sayers.
FACE

A thematic unit study, or project method has been used for ages in the home as well as the school systems around the world. Simply put it is taking all the subjects and having them fit inside the theme you have chosen as the theme or project. For instances, if you picked Lewis and Clark as your theme, your vocabulary and spelling words would be about Lewis and Clark. Your math would center around Lewis and Clark as would your sciences, social studies, history etc.

Please see the web site I have dedicated to Unit Studies

Unschooling/Child-led Learning

Waldorf

This method developed by Austrian Rudolf Steiner in the 1920 is based on the development of the child. This is sort of a unit study approach with all aspects of learning relating back to a common theme for a set period of time.
