What ages meet in your community?

Hands-on classes start at age 4 and continue through 12th grade.

What is your class schedule like?

All ages meet together at 8:30 to begin the day with Bible trivia, announcements, pledge, and prayer. Principle classes are held in the mornings for ages 4-6th grade with classes broken down by age brackets. They study history, geography, science, literature, presentation skills, memory work, and art. A one hour lunch break and play time brings all grades and parents together. Third through sixth grades meet for two hours after lunch for engaging classes in English grammar, Latin memory work, math games, and IEW writing courses. Junior high and high school classes meet for a full day with a one hour lunch break and cover subjects such as, but not limited to, history, sciences (with labs), economics, debate, latin, literature, and more.

How often do you meet?

Our community meets once a week from 8:30-3:30.

Is a parent required to stay on campus with the child?

A parent is required to remain on campus at all times with their child(ren) unless the child is in 7th grade or above. Parents work alongside tutors when needed to help the classroom activities run smoothly, and most parents find the highlight of the day to be lunchtime with other parents.

What does the classroom work look like?

For the younger kids, throw out what a traditional classroom setting looks like! We rarely use any worksheets unless we’re practicing with geography maps. Otherwise, you’ll see history discussions with hands-on activities, messy art projects, science experiments, memory work with big body movements, and fun read-alouds that support our history reading.

For older students, you can expect a classroom size of 4 to 12 students with tutors leading rich discussions pertaining to the work completed leading up to community day. Science experiments, round table history discussions and games, project presentations, literary papers, and latin reinforcements are all common classroom topics. While some work is done in class, the majority is completed at home, so that the classtime can be spent engaging in the students’ completed work and teaching any material needed for the coming week.
