Others will expand on their love of dramatic interpretations of plays and theater. This class will teach students to express themselves creatively and, of course, dramatically.

​

English/Writing: Students will grow as writers and learn how to write different types of essays.  Grammar, literary devices, and research skills will also be incorporated. A student must be able to read.  If asked to write a paragraph, they should be able to do so independently without struggle.  They should also be able to exercise kindness and self-control.  Students will be held to a high standard of behavior so that the atmosphere of learning and positive participation is unhindered.  God will be honored in our class. 

​

Yearbook: Want to help capture memories of this school year? Have an interest in photography, writing, and content organization? This might be the class for you. This class has a limit of 8-10 students. Students will get “in” based on date of registration. We may be able to do a 12-week class and then switch to another course if we have sufficient interest.

 

These next two classes have been combined to get the best possible class.

 

LEGO Faith Builders Bible: Faith Builders uses a foundation project, Faith Builders lesson, and a main building project that reinforces the less. Students should bring a Bible. Students will need a box of LEGO for this class. Details will be provided soon. 7th and 8th grade only.

​

Afternoon Session

​

This session is still being developed. Once we see what kind of interest there is, we will determine how this session will proceed. Below is what we tentatively plan to do. Ideas are welcome! For now, all classes are TENTATIVE.

​

Government & Economics: This class may be offered if there is sufficient interest. Students can learn how the government works, perform in a mock trial, and build their own town. This class will help students understand how the government operates with certain laws and monetary allowances. This class is open to 6th-high schoolers.

 

Apologia Marine Biology: This class may be offered if there is sufficient interest. Marine Biology is offered for those who have passed Biology. Textbooks will need to be purchased. Details on textbook purchase will be provided after registration.

 

Apologia Biology w/lab: This class may be offered in the afternoon if there is sufficient interest. This high school biology course is designed to be the homeschool student’s first high school science class and is college-prep. Exploring Creation with Biology, 3rd Edition, is a foundational course that covers everything students need to prepare successfully for a college-level biology course. Biology is open to 8th grades and older.

 

Arts & Crafts: This class may be offered in the afternoon if there is sufficient interest. Let’s have some fun being crafty! Ideas for this class include fibers (think knitting and crocheting), fun crafts like paper mache, painting and more. There are so many opportunities to get messy and have fun in this after-hours class.

 

Enrichment Classes: This class may be offered in the afternoon if there is sufficient interest. These classes are being developed. Our ideas include a chess club, tutoring, movies & popcorn, an extra PE class, fun activities, OCC preparation, and more. Ideas are welcome. This class would be for those whose parents are either teaching, have kids in other afternoon classes, or who just want an extra hour or two of learning. Sign up to indicate interest and we will determine what we can offer and to which age groups.
