Our courses feature original curriculum designed to engage students while building strong writing and critical thinking skills over time. Many classes are part of a multi-semester course series that builds progressively, allowing students to deepen their understanding and grow with confidence. We incorporate literature and texts that have stood the test of time, proven effective through decades of use. Using a Socratic approach, students are encouraged to think independently, participate actively, and develop a genuine connection to the material.
A Literature-Based, Hands-On Journey Through Early American Expansion
This three-course series invites students to explore the story of American western migration through rich literature, immersive activities, and an integrated study of history, writing, geography, and economics.
Designed for two levels (Grades 4–6 and 7–8), the program takes a “wide lens” approach—helping students understand not just events, but how and why they unfolded.
Students engage with authentic texts, develop strong writing and grammar skills, and participate in hands-on projects that bring history to life.
This four-course U.S. history series traces the development of the United States from the American Revolution through the early twentieth century, with a continuous focus on the role of American presidents in shaping the nation. Beginning with the founding principles of liberty and government, students will follow how those ideas were carried forward, tested, and applied through the leadership and decisions of each generation.
As students progress through the series, they will study the growth of the republic, the challenges of expansion, the trials of civil war and reconstruction, and the emergence of the United States as a modern power. Through guided discussion, primary sources, and thoughtful analysis, students will come to understand not only what happened, but how presidential leadership influenced the direction of the nation and the preservation of its founding principles.
This course equips students to understand the modern Middle East by grounding current events in their historical context. By tracing the development of modern Israel—from the late Ottoman period through major wars, political movements, and ongoing conflicts—students learn that present-day issues cannot be understood in isolation. Instead, they must be viewed through the lens of history, where decisions, ideas, and events across generations continue to shape today’s realities. Through this approach, students gain not only knowledge of the past, but the ability to think more clearly and thoughtfully about the world around them.
In this course for 4th–9th graders, students turn real family history into engaging stories while building strong research, writing, and editing skills. As they shape facts into narrative, they also strengthen core academic abilities—like reading comprehension, organization, and analytical thinking—making this a meaningful way to grow as both writers and learners.
Master the fundamentals of essay writing, from crafting strong introductions to building clear, well-supported arguments and effective conclusions. Students will learn to create compelling thesis statements, support ideas with clear reasoning and evidence, organize their writing effectively, and use credible sources with proper citation. This course gives students the tools and confidence to find and strengthen their voice as writers.
The Honors Bridge math course is designed for mathematically motivated students transitioning into Middle School. We use the rigorous, spiral method of Saxon 6/5 as our bedrock, while injecting Pre-Algebraic concepts and complex problem-solving strategies. Our goal is not just a high grade, but the development of mathematical intuition.
The course aims to ensure a smooth transition for your student into middle school honors math.
This approach blends short direct instruction with student-driven exploration which cultivates both foundational comprehension and the ability to interpret geographic information independently.
This isn’t your typical geography class—it’s a smarter, more effective way to learn. Using a proven blend of short direct instruction and student-driven exploration, students don’t just memorize maps—they learn how to think geographically. Each lesson is designed around powerful learning strategies like spaced repetition, retrieval practice, incremental learning, and intentional skill-building, helping knowledge stick without hours of tedious busywork. The result? Students build confidence, independence, and a deep understanding of the world—while actually enjoying the process.
This three-course series develops a strong foundation in English grammar by moving beyond memorized definitions and focusing on how grammatical rules govern sentence structure and composition.
The first course, Essential Grammar Skills: Beyond Basic Nouns and Verbs, challenges what students think they know and establishes a precise understanding of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and prepositions (including objects of prepositions), introducing the underlying logic of sentence construction.
The second course, Essential Grammar Skills II: Connecting Words and Diagramming Sentences, expands that foundation by exploring adverbs, conjunctions, and interjections while introducing sentence diagramming as a tool for visualizing grammatical relationships.
The third course, Essential Grammar Skills III: Advanced Sentence Structure and Diagramming, deepens students’ analytical skills through more complex diagramming and a focused study of direct and indirect objects, enabling them to interpret and construct sophisticated sentences with clarity.
Together, these courses cultivate not just grammatical knowledge, but a disciplined understanding of the logical structure of language.
This three-course series invites students to explore the relationship between government and everyday life through powerful autobiographical literature set in the mid-twentieth century. Rather than approaching history through textbooks alone, students engage directly with firsthand accounts—stories written by individuals who experienced life under some of the most influential political systems of the modern world.
Across the series, students examine key ideas in government philosophy, including the nature of power, the meaning of freedom, and the responsibilities individuals hold within society. Through guided reading and discussion, they analyze how different systems—authoritarian, communist, and totalitarian—shape belief, behavior, and opportunity. At the same time, students build a strong foundation in world history, studying major events such as the Cultural Revolution, the Cold War, and World War II.
By combining literature and history, this series helps students develop critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and a deeper understanding of how individuals respond to government authority. Students learn not only what happened in the twentieth century, but also how real people navigated complex political realities—equipping them with the tools to think thoughtfully about government, rights, and responsibility today.
