5th - 12th Grade Classes

Students in Math 5 will continue building on the skills they developed in Math 4, and will apply them to “real world” scenarios. It is my goal to make math engaging and relevant through games, activities, and project based learning exercises in addition to the daily lesson activities. This year, students can expect to receive more individualized assistance during independent work times, learn cooperatively with other students during math project times, and discover how math is found in creation as well as how we use it every day. 

Students will follow IEW's highly effective writing curriculum, read and respond to engaging pieces of literature through class discussions and hands on projects, and learn grammar and vocabulary in way that will enable students to improve their reading and writing!

From Creation to the Resurrection, students will learn important historical world events from a biblical perspective using The Mystery  of History Volume I.
