Step into the walled garden where wonder grows, hearts heal, and faith blossoms.
 
This 10-lesson Secret Garden novel study invites students to journey through Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved classic in a way that stirs imagination, builds literacy, and nurtures the heart. Written in a gentle, narrative tone that fits family-style homeschooling, this unit combines story, Scripture, creativity, and reflection into one beautifully integrated learning experience.
As Mary Lennox learns to open her heart to friendship, kindness, and God’s creation, your students will grow in understanding too — learning to see beauty in change, hope in hard times, and the truth that new life begins when we let God’s light in.
 
What Your Child Will Learn
Throughout this study, students will:

Build writing confidence by crafting a complete book report across the 10 lessons, learning to write paragraphs that express ideas clearly and creatively.
Explore art, geography, and nature through hands-on activities like painting a garden scene, sketching Yorkshire landscapes, and mapping India and England.
Grow in Christian character, reflecting on themes of gratitude, renewal, forgiveness, and God’s power to bring life from what was once forgotten.
