Branches is designed to serve families with children all the way from newborns through twelfth grade. We meet in two buildings about a mile apart, but operate as one program. Our secondary building is geared specifically for middle school and high school students (6th-12th grade). Parents can volunteer in either or both buildings, or drop off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that Grace is worldview neutral. Students and teachers may discuss worldview issues as a matter of academic interest but teachers’ views will not be taught with authority during our programs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curriculum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most of our families take an eclectic approach to curriculum and we do too, in the sense that we do not dictate what curriculum you use at home. Most of our families use our science courses and writing courses as complete subjects and use our art, gym and electives courses as part of additional classes and activities. For example, taking art classes at Extra, Branches and doing independent projects could be counted as one credit. Similarly our physical education classes can be a component of a larger physical education program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We rotate subjects every 3 years so that students are guaranteed to cover all subjects during their time at Grace. Classes meet once a week during our program for labs and homework includes reading, homework problems, and lab write ups. Attending class and completing homework is sufficient for a high school credit and we offer dual enrollment for college credit when possible. Students are expected to complete the homework weekly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
