What's In The Works?

Plans are underway for next year. Here is a sneak peak at a few things!
  • Addition of a second KinderPrep class
  • Addition of Middle School History class: We are happy to have Jennifer H. teaching this course. She has a teaching degree with a bachelors in history, but even more import, she has a passion for it. This is an opportunity you will want to take advantage of for your middle schoolers.
  • Music/Choir classes alternating with elementary PE classes
  • Creative Arts/Drama class which will include designing a set for their own production (How cool will this be!)
  • Elementary Science classes will be studying earth science. Demitris S. will teach Science 1 (1st – 3rd grades) and Jennifer H. will now teach Science 2 (4th – 6th grades) These ladies will bring a lot to your students, including the experience of formerly teaching in elementary schools.
  • IEW classes will be offered as a basic class and an advanced class 
  • PE classes for Elementary and Middle School continue to be a favorite
  • Elementary history class and new Middle School history class will be covering the same time period. They are also at the same time of day, allowing the opportunity of some shared activities.
  • Literature class will continue with some great books and great discussions
  • Middle School General Science class continues with Laura Ericson. So nice to have the opportunity to study with her in middle school and then go on to her high school science program.
Details and Registration information will be available in a few weeks.
