KONOS compared to Other Unit Studies KONOS shares with other unit studies the commonality of the unit, yet it surpasses other unit studies in its focus…Godly character traits. Certainly, units focusing on plants or Indians or even baseball have a similar approach of integrating all subjects. However, KONOS believes those topics can and should point toward the character the Lord wants His people to emulate. Godly character is something that every Christian parent wants his children to posses. It should not be limited to a few minutes of the school day. Children should be saturated with the incredible reality that God displays His character in all His creation…whether it be His orderliness in the universe, the seasons, or mathematics…or His patience in the growth of humans and plants…or His trust demonstrated in the laws of nature that govern flight. KONOS units and topics always point back to the character trait Further, the unique activities of KONOS are not duplicated in other unit studies. A very unusual call came into the KONOS Corporate office many years ago. A customer wanted to purchase KONOS, but she also wanted to make a confession. "I am not sure you want to sell to me," she said. "You see, I used to write for one of your competitors. I would sit around with several other writers and we would try to think of KONOS-like hands-on activities to make our curriculum like KONOS. We just never had the creativity of Jessica and Carole, so I decided to buy KONOS to teach my own child." If you don't have creativity, don't worry…KONOS has it for you.
