Mini-Mysteries

Meet the Worldschooling Detectives, Miles and Maya, along with their dog, Sherlock. Created for ages 8–12.

Pack your bags and grab your passports, junior detectives. Your adventure is about to begin.

Join Miles and Maya, worldschoolers, along with Sherlock and Gerard, as they travel the globe solving mysteries that blend science, storytelling, and world exploration. Each six-week unit takes them to a new destination where they decode clues, investigate ancient wonders, and uncover secrets from the past.

Gerard is a seasoned world tour guide and cultural expert who introduces them to historic landmarks, archaeological sites, and local traditions in every country they visit. He shares historical context while encouraging students to ask questions, notice details, and think carefully about what they see.

Each Mini-Mystery is a curriculum experience that weaves together reading, writing, history, geography, science, vocabulary, and critical thinking into one memorable journey. Clue by clue, students begin piecing together the story behind the case.
