In rich complement to their curriculum being studied in their History, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Geography classes, we will be integrating music into all of these studies, bringing the connectivity of integrated arts to life. Students will enhance their multicultural appreciation by learning songs from other lands. In addition, they will frequently augment their language development by learning songs in sign-language, just for the fun of integrating music into their ASL development.

Bible $0
11:00 am We have a desire to offer our cherished children serious tools to help equip them for the future. We all realize that “the world” will attack and try to disprove God’s perfect truth and the target is our children. With this in mind, we sought out a Bible curriculum that would teach our children to be able to find the truth on their own. No more carrying their Bible around like a golden brick. This year, the students will open and explore God’s word in deep meaningful ways in order to find truth. We will teach your child that when they are presented with a world view, whether via TV, social media, or in person, they are able to open God’s word and find direct, truthful answers. They will find that God’s truth is the only thing that matters. We desire their hearts be full of confidence in their beliefs and love for Christ. Our children are asking big questions in our present day culture, and they deserve big answers. We believe this curriculum will provide them with the skills they need to find those answers. Marion Bohn teaches this class.

Students will learn to trust one another, take cues from others and allow their senses and instincts to respond. It can be fun for firsties and we will look to challenge the experienced thespians.
Preparation is the key to success so there will be independent work to do at home. Students will then have time to delve into their imaginations and create their characters, memorize lines, practice blocking, consider appropriate wardrobe, and rehearse with others, even if only on zoom. Shy ones may come out of their shells, extraverts will have an outlet, and all will gain an appreciation for the dramatic arts.

Teen Bible $135
11:00 am Why would we want to study a book that might be 3,500 years old? The bible claims to be God’s story of his interactions with his world and humanity. The Bible is the most important collection of books ever assembled in human history. It is also the book that created the culture and values of the world we know, values that are dear to each of us. Understanding this book is the key to understanding life. There are many interpretations of the bible and if we come into conflict about something, we will follow the example of the Bereans and test everything by the scripture. We will do the hard work of understanding how God has interacted with his people and what it means for us today. We will engage difficult issues. We will discuss difficult questions. We will study how God prepared humanity in all history to encounter the single most important event in all history, the coming of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
We have three course objectives:- •To know and understand the over-arching story of redemption.
- •To know understand the major sections of the story, including their covenants and key points
- •To know how to interpret a passage using the biblical and historical context This course will have a reading requirement. David Seitzinger teaches this class.

Biology Lab $100
12:30 pm Ready to get excited about Biology! Join Gina as she shares her passion and love for science with your student.
This Biology Lab, intended to be a two-semester class, provides a fully hands-on comprehensive laboratory experience that correlates with the concepts taught in biology. It will provide enough hours, in addition to their studies at home, to provide your student with the work needed for the lab component of your biology credit.
Although students can use any biology text at home to study the complexity of God’s creation, the classroom experiments will follow the generalized schedule found in the Apologia Biology 3rd edition (the newest edition). Each week, the scientific method is reintroduced and practiced in each experiment either through microscope use (mainly 1st semester) or dissection techniques (2nd semester). Students will discuss and review concepts from their studies, but the majority of time will focus on hands-on experiments. Students sketch their observations and record their methods and data in their journals, and learn to complete formal laboratory reports from selected experiments. Gina Denckhoff teaches this class. -
