Students learn geography, history and science mainly through personal research and/or practical application of the subjects. The curriculum requires much hands-on activity, including making maps, drawing time lines, researching, writing papers, and constructing things for practical use in the environment.

Science in Kindergarten and 1st grade finds the students participating in classroom projects and studies of the environment. They conduct experiments and participate in the annual school-wide Science Fair. In the elementary grades, students learn about everything from the five senses to plants to the animal kingdom, the solar system and seasons. In the Junior High grades, students study health, biology and age-appropriate physics. Again, each grade's study is augmented by our annual Science Fair.

Social studies, American and World History and geography are enriched by many hands-on activities and projects, including our annual Geography and History Fair. In the elementary grades, geography students learn map skills, map symbols, directions, compass points, states and capitols. In Junior High, students complete an extensive course to become familiar with the main parts of the geography of the planet and how geography affects where and how people live. As a practical on this course, students construct a large, detailed map of the world which includes all major mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, as well as the countries of the world.

We feel that study of the humanities, sciences and social studies at all ages gives a student greater understanding of the world at large, its peoples, places and the events that have shaped our world.
