This will be where we post some of the details about electives offered this Spring semester. The Electives Class Description page will also be updated soon. The continuing classes are here.
Contemporary Dance - younger group
No dance experience required, just a love of movement! We will explore creative movement using a blend of techniques from ballet, lyrical, jazz, and worship movement. Students will need to wear form-fitting clothing (leotard, tights, leggings, etc.) but will dance barefoot so will need footless tights if they choose to wear them. We will work on learning choreography for a performance at the end of the year show as well as dance technique, flexibility, and strength.
Contemporary Dance - older group
No dance experience required, but this class will be more challenging, so students should be ready to push themselves to learn! Students will need to wear form-fitting clothing (leotard, tights, leggings, etc.) but will dance barefoot so will need footless tights if they choose to wear them. We will work on learning choreography for a performance at the end of the year show as well as dance technique, flexibility, and strength.
Pocket Full of Petals (3rd+)
Enjoy a semester of flower based crafts while we learn about your favorite flowers. Crafts and activities like flower crowns, terrariums, flower arranging, pressed flower art, card marking, and even starting our own classroom garden.
A course workbook will be available for purchase (most likely in the $10 range).
Bible Journaling/Volleyball
Outside volleyball on nice days, bible journaling/lettering on cold days.
Cards & Wheels -
On rainy days, students can play various card games like Uno, and some time to trade Pokemon cards. On nice days, they can ride scooters, skateboard, or bikes outside that they bring.
Debate 7th+
Building on and reviewing the elements of public speaking (it’s a plus if you’ve already taken speech, but not required) and incorporating logic, good listening skills, sound research, etc.
What is the Gospel?
Part bible, part theology, part apologetics and part personal evangelism. An informal class where the goal is to get students to the place where they can explain the gospel in a friendly and accessible way to their peers.
Woodworking (8th through 12th)
Each week we will explore a building concept, doing hands-on work with an individual or ongoing project, while learning to practice basic safety. Projects will span from creating small household items (cutting board, wooden crate, bench) to rough-framing a wall and doorway, to designing and implementing post frame construction in barn building. Field Trips may include visits to a local wood shop and a building site to observe projects in progress. Students will use non-power hand tools, a drill driver, and a random orbit sander. Moving on to more advanced power tools will depend on demonstrated safety ability, parental consent, class size, and site constraints. It will be helpful to have a basic toolbelt, hammer, nail set, and tape measure.
Boys'/Girls' Conditioning
Separate girls' and boys' Body and Strength Conditioning classes including full body exercise and stretching to increase flexibility, strength and health.
Students will need to bring appropriate work out clothes and shoes to participate each week. They MUST have appropriate clothes in order to participate each week for safety reasons. Bring a water bottle or sports drink for rehydration.
Drama (5th+ preferred)
Our high school students wrote a play through the Fall semester! Using this writing as a basis, students will learn basic theater principles like movement, voice, acting, improvisation and diction. Students will work together to bring costumes, lighting and other aspects of theater together. This class will conclude with a performance in April.
