Our middle school program serves 5th-8th grade homeschoolers. This option for your older student also meets Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am-3pm and offers slightly longer class times to allow for deeper exploration into subject matter and lengthier projects and experiments. The program includes core subjects of math, reading, and writing using a multifaceted approach that implements book work, literature studies, and project-based learning. Students will explore various topics from science, history, and geography through comprehensive unit studies. We seek to expose students to a variety of electives such as church history, art, music, sign language, physical education, life skills, and more all presented in fun and engaging lessons. Lesson plans are provided for your studies at home, and students at this age, while not required, are strongly encouraged to use curriculum that coincides with our program in order to foster a more unified and comprehensive learning experience.
