2021-2022 THEME, Field Trips & Events

SOCIAL STUDIES: From the Middle Ages to the Age of Revolution (7th-12th) + Hideaways in History

This year our students will enjoy fantastic adventures in history! Our oldest students (7th-12th) will take a tour through history starting at the fall of Rome into the age of revolution and change across the world (400's to 1800's). This study will help students understand critical transitions in our world in thought, lifestyles, economy, politics, and the growing connectedness of the world. It will be an incredible study that our language arts and electives will support all year!


Our younger students will have a blast discovering world history with fun and unique experiences. Our program Hideaways in History builds memories and creates adventures as we learn about the major events, people, and places in history. Our K-2 students will enjoy small introductions with tons of themed fort-building, interactive crafts, and fun memory-making to help them see how much has happened in our world. Our 3rd-6th will enjoy the same interactive learning and fort-building with a greater dive into the people and places where history took place. It will be a great year!

SCIENCE THEME: Astronomy (7th-12th) and Natural/Physical Science (K-2)

Our older students will dive into the study of space with Astronomy! It will be an engaging science class that seeks to show the vastness of our created universe and how it points to a Creator. Black holes, interstellar space, dark matter, wormholes, history of astronomy, telescopes, galaxies, celestial navigation, and more. It will be fascinating!


Our you students will continue to focus on natural and physical sciences throughout the year.
