Extra Curricular
CLASS Day
|
CLASS Day meets twice a month (for most months) for both academic and extra curricular classes. Classes are offered for all children birth through 12th grade. CLASS Day meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at a church in Bolingbrook. All students will be studying meteorology this year with the junior high and high school students also covering earth science. Preschool and elementary students will have hands-on experiments, crafts, and activities to explore meteorology. Junior high and high school students will learn about our topics of study through science experiments and small group discussion, as well as independent study materials.

End of Year Celebration
Homeschooling is hard work! Each year we recognize the efforts of both teachers and students at our end of year celebration. This event focuses on the achievements of our students that are both promoting to the next grade level and graduating from high school. The ceremony is held at an area church in mid-May to early June.
