This high school physics course is appropriate for anyone in high school who has taken or is currently taking Algebra 1. This course does not use trigonometry, so it is appropriate for those in 9th grade, but is also challenging enough for students in the upper grades of high school as well.
The students will learn about many topics in physics such as the scientific method, Newton’s Laws of Motion, energy, momentum, atoms and matter, heat and temperature, pressure and buoyancy, waves, sound and light, electricity, DC circuits, fields and magnetism, and geometric optics.
Class time will be spent doing experiments, answering questions on material previously covered and introducing new material.  Cumulative quizzes will be given weekly and four quarterly tests will be given.  The textbook used focuses on mastery-based learning.  Each week students will spend about 2/3 of their time on new material and 1/3 of their time reviewing old material.  Lab reports will also be done throughout the year.

English 6th-7th Grades: $750  ($75 per month) J. Millwee
Supply Fee: $25
This class meets one time per week Aug-May
This class is best for incoming 6th-grade students and 7th-grade students who need to focus on grammar instruction and improving their writing skills.
Throughout this class, students will practice good writing habits, such as being consistent with incorporating the writing process: brainstorming, creating a rough draft, editing, and producing a quality final copy. They will also work on increasing their vocabulary through out-of-class reading and encouragement to use more vivid words as they write their descriptions and creatively express their thoughts. There will be a heavy emphasis on complete and comprehensive coverage of all three elements of G.U.M. - Grammar (i.e. parts of speech, complete sentences), Usage (i.e. homophones, figures of speech, proper word choice to convey meaning), and Mechanics (i.e. punctuation, capitalization).
While this class will not focus on literature, there will be required reading from a provided list that the students will work on independently. This reading will be considered a part of their grade, and they will give an oral report on their chosen books several times throughout the school year. By the end of the school year, your student should feel better prepared for the higher-level writing required in the upper grades.

This class meets one time per week Aug-May
The objective of this class is for 6th through 12th grade students to gain confidence in their ability to speak and perform in front of an audience. Side effects may include increased creativity, better listening skills, and improved memorization, empathy, and flexibility.
Many shy and introverted kids enjoy playing a character and having words provided for them instead of struggling with what to say. Our prayer is that this class ministers to your children by growing their confidence and tapping into sides of themselves they didn’t know they had.
Class structure will include monologue work, scene studies, and improv. We plan to have a lot of fun.
Prerequisites: None

Adulting 101: $775 ($77.50 per month) M. and G. Brannon
Supply Fee: $35
This class meets one time per week Aug-May
Grades 9-12
Have you seen that meme that says “I’m so glad I’m learning to do parallelograms instead of taxes. That will really come in handy come parallelogram season”?
That’s the spirit behind this class. Not that parallelograms don’t have their place, but many high school graduates fly the coop and end up discovering a world where they feel unequipped to function. We want to go through some of the fundamentals of adulting, to impart some knowledge that most of us take for granted but can give confidence to young people who want to feel ahead of the game.
We’ll be talking about Health Insurance - Healthcare is a disaster and we couldn’t decipher it if we tried but we will at least cover the basics- What is a deductible, premium, copay, and alternatives to traditional health plans.
We’ll even be looking at some car maintenance tips so your student will know what to do with a flat tire or check engine light.
Teen Talk - A few minutes each class will be spent discussing and role-playing things like- how to introduce yourself and make small talk, good manners, and etiquette, how to establish a good reputation, how to greet parents of your friends when going to hang out at their home, etc.
These are the types of topics we’ll be tackling, and we’ll be doing regular AMA’s (Ask Me Anything) so we can help these students avoid some of the mistakes we’ve made and learn some valuable lessons sooner rather than later.

This class meets one time per week Aug-May 
Grades 6-12
Whether you're just beginning your artistic journey or already creating detailed characters, this course will take your character design skills to the next level. Designed for beginners through advanced artists, this class explores the complete process of creating compelling characters—from understanding basic body structure and form to building dynamic, three-dimensional designs. Students will have the opportunity to work with both traditional art materials and digital drawing devices, allowing them to develop skills in the medium that best fits their creative goals. Throughout the course, students will build a strong foundation by learning and reviewing the fundamentals of drawing, including 2D and 3D forms, perspective, light and shadow, value and tone, body form, and overall character design. As their confidence grows, they'll discover not only the principles that make the human form believable, but also how and when to intentionally bend or break those rules to develop a unique artistic style. Whether your goal is to create realistic figures, comic book heroes, anime characters, fantasy creatures, or original designs of your own, the techniques taught in this course will provide the foundation to bring your imagination to life. Lessons and projects are designed to grow alongside each student's abilities, ensuring beginners build confidence while more experienced artists continue to be challenged and inspired.

This class is going to be fun, messy, and creative! Below you will find a general recommendation of supplies that we will use consistently throughout the year. Do not stress over the brand, size, or amount. Use what you already have on hand, or what you are getting for other classes. I will also have extra supplies available in class.
Additionally, I will send notes home periodically asking you to contribute household supplies that you may have on hand—toilet paper rolls, produce bags, etc. Again--DON’T STRESS! I am all about working with what you’ve got and will encourage your kids to be creative with items that can be reused or recycled.
Finally, you will see optional items to have on hand. We will be outside utilizing the class garden quite a bit, so you may want to send your kids with a hat or sunscreen that they can apply themselves. Gardening gloves aren’t necessary, but I know some kids prefer to use them.
Recommended Supplies:
Crayons
Colored pencils
Markers
Pens
Pencils
Construction paper
Glue
