2026-2027 Academic Year

Explore This year's Themes

4th-12th Grade Social Studies & Science

Each year our 4th-12th graders enjoy a thematic school experience that is a bit distinct and different. This sets the tone for the year, guides some of elective and field trip decisions, and seeks to cultivate a unique experience year-to-year. 


This year's social studies theme for both our 4th-6th and 7th-12th graders is a unique world history program: Adventures in the Sea & Sky.  


Goals for Historical Study 

  • To learn about the history of transportation by sea, air, and space
  • To identify key historical events pivotal to world history that were influenced by advancements or differences in the design of ships, airplanes, or spaceships 
  • To learn about how different people groups advanced sail throughout history, and air and space travel in the last century 
  • To become familiar with the people who pushed forward travel advancement and new inventions and ship or plane designs 
  • To grow in understanding of how and why people developed new ideas in travel that changed the world, bringing people together or spreading culture across the globe 
  • To discover what life at sea is like, and how astronauts survive in space 


7th-12th Grade Science

Our middle and high school students will be engaging in Astronomy which is a perfect complement to our Sea & Sky program as the end of the history program studies our exploration of space. 


4th-6th Grade Science

Our older elementary class will be studying basic Chemistry & Physics each week. This will be an awesome experience full of hands-on learning and experiments. 


K-3rd Grade Social Studies

K-3rd Grade Social Studies

Our K-3rd grade class enjoys a rich and multifaceted social studies experience. Besides a "memory" time which offers a variety of topics students focus on to prepare them for further study -- like the Presidents -- they will enjoy a structured world history program.


This year's theme for our K-3rd graders is a unique world history program: Hideaways in History!


This program will offer lots of engaging active learning to create a foundation for the flow of history. Alongside reading, crafts, and activities, the students will be creating "Hideaways" throughout the year which will help them create memories around the places, peoples, and times they are studying -- which makes the learning come to life.
