Teacher: Mr. Brockbank
Method: Computer-based learning
Grades: 3rd -12th
Time Commitment: ALEKS will be available online for as much time as your child wishes to spend on the program. 3-5 hours of instruction per week is required. Go to www.aleks.com for a free three-hour trial. If your child loves it, and most do, we will sign you up at no cost.
ALEKS (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces) is a Web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know regarding mathematical concepts. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the other math courses she is taking. ALEKS also provides the advantage of one-on-one instruction—24/7—from virtually any Web-based computer.

Meant as an introduction to many components of science, students will learn to think, talk and act as scientists and will be involved in electrifying projects that will magnify their love of the subject.
Teacher: Mr. Morrell/Mrs. Roberts
Method: Elluminate Virtual Classroom technology
Grades: 7th - 9th
Time Commitment: 1:00-2:45 Wednesdays; 10 minutes daily writing assignment outside of class
Using the context of our nation's beginnings for subject matter, students will develop a solid foundation and find their voice in writing. The Excellence in Writing curriculum used for this course will give structural guidelines and specific requirements to develop competency, independence, and as a result, creativity. Our engaging teacher will present one concept at a time, model it extensively, and give numerous examples before requiring independence. The concepts are cumulative and students will continually utilize previously taught techniques in every composition. Shorter assignments given more frequently allow for faster progress towards learning structure and style in their writing. Homonyms, vocabulary words, and some grammar rules will be addressed and the students will complete two book reports, a three-source research paper, and some other writings.

Foundations in Language Arts (4th – 6th grades)
Oh, goody—a grammar class! Maybe you're thinking, “Who needs another grammar class?” My answer would be, “Who doesn't?” In Foundations in Language Arts we will study the building blocks of writing structure and style. Using the Excellence in Writing and Painless Grammar programs, this class helps students gain a practical understanding of the English language. Having a solid foundation in language arts helps students communicate more effectively in all areas of life. Opinions, thoughts, feelings, and knowledge—no matter what they are about—cannot be shared effectively if one cannot communicate clearly. This class is a user-friendly, action-packed, fun-filled exploration into the fundamentals of effective communication that will equip students with the knowledge necessary to effectively enter the global conversation and meaningfully contribute to the world of which they are a part.

Teacher: Mr. Duffin; Elluminate Virtual Classroom technology
Grades: 10th - 12th
Time Commitment: 9:00-11:00, Mondays/Wednesdays, 2-3 hours additional reading time per week outside of class
[NOTE: This class counts for 2 core classes because it is both an English and History class.]
Students taking this class will be privileged to tackle the great ideas that form the solid foundations of human history, philosophy and culture. The class divides its study between literature and history. Students will be thoroughly exposed to major ancient civilizations through the study and discussion of that civilization’s literature, religious texts and historical context. The classes’ current focus is on “Symbols” and their significance in the way people have viewed the world for thousands of years. From Ancient Egypt to turn of the century Russia to Transcendentalist America, students will learn to empathize and understand their role as part of the human family, grappling with the same questions of life and death, right and wrong, the questions which have driven men and women to seek order and truth. Students will simultaneously read literature, short essays and stories that correlate with concepts learned in the history portion of the course. Students will be given the opportunity to write their own short story, under the careful and expert guidance of a dynamic and knowledgeable mentor. Click here for topics covered this semester.

If understanding the United States Constitution and being able to apply it's principles is something that would enhance your life, this is the class for you.

Taught in a Socratic method, critical thinking is a requirement. All opinions are welcome and shared in this class with a emphasis on knowing both sides of every issue. The goal is to turn all students into Constitutional scholars with the ability to respect other points of view as well as defending one's own beliefs.
