We also realize the necessity to meet students at their individual level of achievement and to key into their learning style. To do so means developing an individualized education for each student and providing instruction utilizing alternative teaching methods. Such is the intent of the Semester Course. As such, study and exploration are woven into a single tapestry. The importance of mathematics in life is studied while squaring a foundation or figuring the rise and run of a roof.
Geometry is utilized as students determine their location in the back country by resection.
Writing skills are enhanced by maintaining a journal and keeping in contact with friends and family back home. A formal Math and English curriculum is provided by the student's school and assignments are mailed back and forth throughout the semester. The school will be able to award semester credits in Math, English, American History, Biology, Physical Education, and Art. Credits will be earned, but so much more will be gained. However, that is not to say therapy does not occur.
