Once-A-Week Program (K-8)
Our Kindergarten through eighth grade students meet for one full school day during the week.
Students will attend the following five classes:
Art: In this class, students will experience the world of art through the lens of different artists, their works, and their mediums. This well-rounded class will encourage both appreciation and application, blending of art appreciation, art history, and a hands-on art experience.
Classical Studies/Great Biographies: In this class, students will see history come alive as they learn about remarkable men and women who have changed the course of history. They will read biographies and related literature to study the lives of scientists, reformers, early Americans, and other key figures throughout history.
Literature: In this class, our younger students (grades K-2) will listen to great stories and participate in supplementary activities that enrich the literature presented to them. Our older students (grades 3-8) will read the texts together and participate in discussions with their classmates.
Music: In this class, students will engage in music appreciation, music theory, the study of classical music, composer studies, and instrument studies, and engage musically through singing, rhythm, and instruments.
Nature Study: In this class, students will be invited to join in hands-on and highly interactive lessons focused on teaching the skill of observation in the natural world. This course will equip students with important science terms and concepts and teach them to create and keep a nature journal.
Kindergarten will cover the same classes, excluding music and art. Kindergarten is also unique in that the students will stay with one teacher all day, rather than changing with each class.
In addition to our weekly program, our students are permitted to participate in all extracurricular activities that our traditional school program offers. This includes athletics, fine arts, music, clubs, and all-school events at our full-time campus.
We also offer administration of state-required testing for students in grades 3, 5, and 7 for interested families, as well as curriculum and home education consultations if requested.
