Frequently Asked Questions

How many kits may my child select?

The exact number of kits allowed per student varies based on the other courses selected.

Elementary students in grades 1-5 may select up to 2 electives from a combination of elementary elective kits and online elective courses. Students who select the on-site Options program for their electives are not eligible for kits.

Kindergarten students may choose one kindergarten elective kit; see the kindergarten elective kit tab. Kindergarten students who select Options Kindergarten are not eligible for kits.

Social studies count as an elective course in grades K-5. If your elementary student chooses to take an online social studies course or Flex Social Studies, you will select less elective kits.

What is included in the kits?

Elective kits may include supplies, books, curriculum, or other elective course resources. Kits are designed to help students grow their love of learning while developing their thinking skills and knowledge in elective topic areas. All kits are subject to change at any time due to availability of materials. Listed below are examples of three different elementary elective kits.

Art

The arts are a fundamental part of every child’s cultural heritage and, as such, enhance the quality of life. The fine arts nurture creativity, an essential life skill, and serve the education of the whole child. The study of drama, dance, music, and the visual arts helps students explore relationships and ideas that cannot be expressed simply in other ways, serving to connect our imaginations with the history of human existence. Learning in the fine arts is valuable on its own, but it also engages students with learning in other subjects. Research has shown visual arts instruction to improve reading readiness. Performing and creating facilitates the acquisition of problem-solving skills and teamwork. Those skills then can be applied to other academic areas.

Music

The goal of the distance learning music curriculum is to not only help students develop their musical skills, but to also help children create, perform and respond to music and promote life-long enjoyment and appreciation of music.

Physical Education/Health

Harmony’s physical and health curriculum provides learning materials and/or supplies to help children learn good nutrition and the benefits of being active.
