Note: The class will follow “Our Great Big World” by Notgrass. We will focus on the geography, cultures, and people of different regions, while encountering references that reflect the curriculum’s Christian worldview (such as creation language, historical influences of Christianity in certain regions, Christian traditions, or personal accounts). There will be no specific religious or theological instruction. Your students will be welcome to engage with the material from your own family’s worldview, and I am determined to support an environment of discussion, sharing and learning.
If you’re unsure if this class is the right fit for your family, you can preview the curriculum. It’s available in the shop in the History room, and I’m always happy to talk through it or answer questions.
All of our other classes are taught from a neutral perspective.

Parent Attendance and Classroom Policies.(Required)
Our class policy requires that parents remain on the premises during class time; this is not a drop-off class. To ensure a comfortable experience, parents are welcome to use the sunroom while other children can enjoy the playroom. If a child needs assistance in the restroom, it is the parent’s responsibility to provide help, teachers and classroom helpers cannot help children in the restroom . Additionally, to guarantee a safe and secure environment, all classroom teachers have undergone thorough background checks. This policy is designed to foster a supportive and secure atmosphere for all participants.
Parent Volunteer(Required)
We require one parent volunteer to be present for each class session. On the first day of class we will have a sign up sheet for parents to volunteer for 1 class day during the course to be the classroom assistant. In the case that you are unable to volunteer, reach out to us and we will try to accommodate.
