Classical Education
for the Modern Homeschooler
Our classes are the benchmark of our school. We provide quality classes taught by experienced teachers, and encourage a family atmosphere among the children and parents who come to our school. We believe that an excellent educational experience involves all learning styles in a community environment and that is what we provide for each student. Too often we see classes being taught only using pieces of paper; our lessons involve a full range of materials and learning resources, whether it be a video, a simulation, a discussion, an art project, an experiment, a small skit, or an oral presentation. Our classes not only stress academic knowledge, but they encourage the use of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Love of learning is our primary goal.
Update for Class Structure in 2023
Welcome back!
Classes will be starting back up on August 8th. Deadline for class sign ups and payment will be August 3rd. Tuition is also due by August 3rd for enrolled families. You can ask to be PayPal invoiced, pay in cash (dropped at Susan Bacon's home), or pay by check (made out to Susan Bacon and dropped at her home or sent by mail).
​
Our classes are open to those enrolled with Franklin School, and are sometimes open to those not enrolled at a higher price. Please feel free to contact us with questions.
We present our classes as a combination via Zoom and in person. We can have the best of both worlds – those traveling or still concerned about COVID can meet less frequently in person, but still have some in person socialization. This makes for a more complex schedule to follow, and we apologize for that. We will email out a weekly schedule to make things easier for all those involved in classes.
​
Hope to see you either on Zoom or in person and we are looking forwarding to working with you for another great year!

WORLD HISTORY
1 in person class and 1 Zoom meeting each month

Each time we meet we will learn about a famous person, place, or event in world history. Then of course we will play games and make crafts to enrich our studies. Expect a few simulations and some famous people to visit us and tell about their life.
BUILDING CHALLENGE (All Ages)
1 zoom meeting a month, activities for at home
​
Every month you receive a set of building materials that challenges you to build something - a super tall building, a bridge, Rube Goldburg machine, a famous landmark, etc. Your family will build the specified object and share it on zoom, while learning about the topic.
WORLD HISTORY
1 in person class and 2 zoom meetings a month, activities and homework

By readings and answering questions in the textbook, participating in discussions, acting out historical simulations, and playing games we will learn about world history. Don’t forget about a sprinkling of the unique facts and issues of world history you might not have heard about.
