Improvisational Drama
Improv (short for improvisation) is a fun, fast-paced form of drama where actors make up scenes on the spot—no script, no planning! It’s all about thinking quickly, working together, and using your imagination to create stories, characters, and hilarious situations.
Middle School Apologetics
This course is designed for middle school students interested in the field of Christian apologetics - the defense of the Christian faith. Throughout the year we will be studying introductory works such as: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, More than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell and The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, among others. The goal of this first year is to introduce students to core topics and provide them with tools to defend their faith “with gentleness and respect” (cf. 1 Peter 3:15).

Psychology
This class will give students a foundational knowledge of psychology from a Christian perspective. We will explore the fundamental areas of the brain and human communication and interaction. Students will label parts of the brain and discover how they function, ways we communicate, explore the history of psychology, personality and theory, sleep and dreams, crisis intervention, counseling, abnormal psychology and more! Students will employ self-reflection and evaluation and study human behavior as it leads to a more meaningful level of communication. Modalities used will be: lecture, textbook, multimedia sources, assessments and analysis, writing papers, projects, tests and quizzes, and group discussion. High School Psychology is a wonderful addition for the students academic experience as well as fulfilling the growing requirements for college transcripts. Students will greatly benefit with a deeper understanding of human interaction from a Christian perspective.
