About the Program: 

This 37 week creative education program covers academic basics with two optional weeks being offered over the summer to get students prepared to begin classes in September. The two week summer session  offers students a chance to meet their cohort and educators and begin to adjust to our schedule and project-based learning style. These sessions also give educators a chance to meet the students and begin to plan curriculum to meet their individual educational needs before classes begin. 

Students ages 7-8, have the option to attend 9:30a-12:30p either three days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday) or two days (Monday & Wednesday). Students that attend two days a week will have some additional at-home work to stay on track with the three day students. 

Curriculum Information: During the academic year, students are taught appropriate math, reading, and writing skills classes from 9:30a-11a each day. We use The Good & The Beautiful ELA and math Level 2 & 3 programs. Level 3 ELA includes spelling. Although they are a faith based curriculum, the classes are not.  All books are included in the cost and ordered by Learning Streams for students to use. Consumable workbooks are for the student to keep at the end of the program.

Homework: Math worksheets and other assignments may be sent home to complete as needed. At home independent reading is a crucial part of students staying on grade level in reading and writing. Parents should plan for about 10-30 minutes of reading each day depending on the age and reading abilities of the child. Some simple writing projects, and other work will  also be sent home occasionally to complete. Level 3 ELA students will have spelling course work sent home. 

All other classes from 11:15a-12:30p continue in the interdisciplinary and hand-on learning style that we have been offering homeschooled students for the past eight years with student success! These classes are a combination of science, social studies, cultural studies, literature, art, and loads of creativity to round out their day and may change during the year based on the interests of the cohort. Students have the option to pack a lunch and enroll (for an additional fee) in the 1p-3p afternoon classes with our other studio students.
