(This is an approximate breakdown of the classes from a past semester - the classes and time periods shift each semester based on what is being taught. And, based on enrollment, the grades may be split out differently. Reach out to inquire about official class offerings and age breakdowns.)
This is a sample schedule from 2024 just to give you an idea of how a semester looks:
Schedule
To kick off the semester we have a Welcome Day where the entire family comes to meet the teachers and other homeschool families.
We meet on Tuesdays, three week on, and then one week off (a break-week). Break weeks can just be a week off, or the group could plan a field trip or park meet-up! We have the building every week so if we'd like to use a break week to have a special elective class (like a bunch of messy science experiments!) we can!
We end the semester with a Showcase Day (Fall) or a Talent Show (Spring). This is for the entire family to come and the students to show off and celebrate what they have learned and created throughout the semester.
