For grades 1-8 Discovery we teach from a historical and literature-based theme with four of our classes. What does this mean for our families? We will have four classes (Literature, History, Geography&Cultural Studies, and Writing) that will focus on an historical period each school year. Each of the four classes will make books come to life in many different ways.
At the beginning of the school year you will be given a syllabus for each class. You will always know the homework assignments and class projects taking place each week.

Art enriches the mind, eyes, heart, and soul and is a major part of all of our lives. In this incredible course, we not only teach how to make art but to appreciate the process of the creation. We will learn about various artists throughout history and will then try our hand at their style of work. Art will be filled with beautiful paintings and colorful pieces as we pour our hearts out in different mediums (oil pastels, chalk, acrylic paint, watercolors, clay etc). They end their year long journey with a colorful display at their annual art show.
