2021-2022 THEME, Field Trips & Events
SOCIAL STUDIES THEME: Later American History
This year our students will dive into later American History starting with the Civil War. Our younger students will focus on important people and the kind of lives families and people experienced in this challenging and exciting period of our country's history. Older students will explore key events, decisions, innovators, challenges, struggles, and ideas that abound in this interesting time of our nation's history. We will grapple with the difficulties, failures, and victories our country experienced in this time. As with every year: students will be investigating, discovering, and experiencing their education.
SCIENCE THEME: Investigate Biology!
Our younger students will continue to reinforce the foundation of the natural sciences by discovering biology. Specific time will be taken to understand the biology that surrounds them in our world. Older students will take a biology course that offers everything you would experience at a high school and junior high school level. All students will not only learn about biology but work through how the more we understand biology the more we see the designs of a Creator behind every cell of every part of creation.
