ACADEMICS
ACADEMICS 2024-2025
2024/25 Registration will open in late March.
Our academic days are a full day of classes. Our classes for our elementary and middle grades share a common theme this year: U.S. history / community / government. This is combined with age-appropriate activities and projects for science, writing/language arts, bible/character, and math/logic.
​
PreK/K is $550 for the morning or $750 for the morning plus the afternoon extension activities. Cost is $900/student for academic day for 1st-8th grades, $950 for those in 9th-12th grades for biology/science lab fees. Cost is $950/student for elective day for 1st-12th. There is also a nonrefundable registration fee of $50 per child per day.
​
Note on required/optional books: I have added approximate (~) pricing and a link for required and optional books. Buying a "used" copy of the book is fine and can save you money in most cases. Prior to purchase, please confirm the "condition" of the book as well as the correct "edition", both are important!
​
A list of supplies needed for the academic classes is here.

1st-8th Grades
1st-8th grade students will learn about world history and cultures,
study astronomy and geology from a Christian perspective, engage in
bible/character studies, enjoy gym, and learn writing, grammar, and math/logic.
In science, we will spend half of the year on Earth and then fly out to space for the
second half of the year to learn all the ways that the Earth and Space work. We will
dive into volcanoes, earthquakes, rocks and minerals, planets, stars, and so much
more, using hands-on activities and experiments.
We use a multi-sensory approach, integrating hands-on activities, media,
outdoor activities, team collaboration, and individual- as well as project-work.
Tuition for academic classes for 1st-8th grades are $900/child for the school
year, plus a $50 nonrefundable registration fee per child.
​
​
Journey High School
9th-12th grade At this time, we are combining our high schoolers into 2 grades/classes,
with a choice of either biology or chemistry for science. Our high school
demographics accommodate either of these science classes currently.
If you have questions regarding your high school student and what they
need for graduation, please contact us and we can set up a meeting to
discuss meeting your high schooler's academic requirements.
High School students will learn about world history and cultures, study
biology or chemistry from a Christian perspective, engage in bible/character
studies, enjoy gym, and learn writing and grammar. Our goal is to prepare
your student for life after high school, whether that involves attending
college, trade school, or pursuing employment.
​
Tuition for academic classes for 9th-12th grades are $950/child for the
school year, plus a $50 nonrefundable registration fee per child.
​
​
Journey High School in 2023/2024 will have a choice of biology or chemistry:
​
Biology: This college-prep biology course will help students understand
the vocabulary of biology and gain a strong understanding of the scientific
method. Modules cover atoms, chemical structures, ecosystems, biomes,
ecological communities, cell structure/function, cellular energy, DNA,
proteins, genetics, viruses, fungi, and the fascinating worlds of plants
and animals.
​​
Prerequisites: None
Required books/materials: Jay Wile’s “Exploring Creation with Biology”, 2nd edition & Answer Key/Tests (~$25, 2005), check condition - available used locally, on ebay, homeschool building, or resale groups on Facebook
​
​
Chemistry: "Friendly Chemistry" provides a comprehensive coverage of chemistry including classification of matter, atomic structure, spectroscopy, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, physical change, chemical change, stoichiometry, solutions, gases, molarity and more. This is presented in a format that is hands-on and interactive using a curriculum that is excellent and comprehensive, yet less intense with regards to the mathematical content. In addition, we will also accommodate students that want "more intense' chemistry math-wise. Either situation will be entirely adequate and excellent for solidifying your student's Chemistry science requirement.
