The school year will be broken into three sections; Drawing, painting and sculpting.
Students will learn how to draw a human face, how to shade with graphite, and how to draw anything they wish to confidently, using a few simple techniques.
They will then use their drawing skills towards laying the foundation for a great painting! They will learn how to mix any color they’d like, and we will create some beautiful scenic paintings together, that are sure to impress their friends and family!
Lastly, students will gain the knowledge of how to find inspiration from multiple sources, sketch detailed original designs, and then turn them into beautiful sculptures!
The ability to render their ideas in visual format, will not only amplify their abilities in every other subject, but it will equip them with an unshakable confidence in themselves, and give them a deeper appreciation for nature and for every part of God’s creation.
This class will use Following Narnia, Volume 2 from the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW). This course uses the beloved Chronicles of Narnia series as a springboard to teach students how to write with structure and style. Students will learn to take notes from a source, create key word outlines, and transform those outlines into well-organized paragraphs. Along the way, they'll build a strong foundation in grammar and vocabulary, while also learning to incorporate more advanced stylistic techniques—called “dress-ups”—to enhance their writing.
This class will offer hands-on, lab-based learning that sparks discovery and exploration of God’s operational design in creation. This year 7th and 8th grade will use Berean Builders Earth Science.
In this class, students will be exploring all sorts of art mediums and creative techniques. This will give students the space to experiment, express themselves, and build confidence in their own God given creativity, and capitalizing in their strengths.
In this class, students will level up their Spanish language skills through fun conversations, games, storytelling, and songs! They'll build on what they already know and add more vocabulary, work on improving their pronunciation, and will learn how to speak in full sentences with confidence! Whether they've taken Spanish before or use it at home, this class will be challenging while keeping the fun going!
In this class, students will be studying scientific advances made from the 1800s to early 1900s with a Biblical view. They will study topics such as medicine, human physiology, cell biology, chemistry, geology, electricity, and many more. Each lesson contains hands-on activities to help illustrate concepts to guide students to understand how a person's worldview affects his or her scientific conclusions. Hold on, as we discover science in a new way!
K- 3rd Grade Art
Students in this class will explore their creativity using diverse art mediums as well as spending time outside doing nature studies. Fun, age-appropriate introductions to famous artists and international art forms will inspire their personal take-home masterpieces!

TEAM is where we cultivate creative thinking and problem-solving skills through a variety of engaging challenges. Students will mostly work in groups, encouraging them to approach problems from fresh perspectives and connect with their peers. This class will include cooperative games, hands-on building activities, speed challenges, and logic puzzles.
