Our preschoolers will have a blast discovering how God created their bodies! This class introduces the basics of the human body through songs, movement, crafts, and games. For example, in one lesson on the digestive tract, students might move a game piece through a board to see how food travels through the body. Along the way, we’ll explore healthy habits, caring for our bodies, and how we can be good stewards of the amazing bodies God has given us.

Girls only!

During each class, we will study a different American Girl character and explore how the lifestyle of American girls has changed through the centuries. We will experience a typical day in the life of each girl alongside story selections, as we learn about (and participate in) chores, schooling, diet (sampling recipes!), fashion, entertainment, crafts, games, etc., AND how these were influenced by the historical period. We will end the semester with an American Girl Christmas celebration, featuring treats, crafts, games, and traditions from all the eras.

In this class, we will learn about 2–3 different elements from the periodic table each week and create a scrapbook of the elements we study to take home and share with family. We will also enjoy a simple, hands-on experiment each class based on one of the elements we learned about that day. This is a fun and engaging way to introduce the periodic table to students who will one day take a chemistry class.

Lead Teacher: Zachary Pilon

In this hands-on class, students will learn a variety of useful knots and how to apply them in real-life situations. From building simple projects like ladders, nets, and swings to exploring practical skills like fishing, sewing repairs, and basic camping or shelter setups, each week will introduce new techniques and challenges. Students may even experiment with creating simple pulley systems as they grow in skill and confidence.

We will have a couple of laptops in class but if one or two other students could bring a laptop that would help with exploring the geolocation tools.

Teacher: Jen Bergman

Students will embark on this semester-long journey into the world of engineering.
