To find out details about the classes and the teachers, visit the Stepping Stones website and here to download an enrollment application and see the class schedule. A brief description of each class follows:
- Illustration Inspirations (Art): In this exciting new class, learning to draw could not be more fun. Our drawings will be based upon the unique styles of storybook illustrators. After reading together, drawing lessons will begin. Drawing will be introduced via The Five Elements of Shape, the most basic grammar of drawing and will progress to study form and advanced color theory in the 4th – 6th grade class.
- A Musical Adventure Through the Bible (Music): We will explore some of the most famous Biblical stories through song and movement. Our adventures will include “A Whale of a Tale is the Tale of a Whale” (Jonah’s story) and “Noah’s Ark, One Wide River“. We will finish the semester with the Christmas story by learning songs from the musical “God of Wonders”. This semester will be an exciting one – full of music!
- Fun, Fitness and Physical Activity (Physical Education): The skills and benefits of physical activity that children learn in their youth will remain with them for their entire lives. During this course, we will provide students with an enjoyable and safe fitness experience while developing cooperation/teamwork skills, movement skills and age appropriate, sports specific skills. We look forward to having fun with you!
- When in Rome (Latin/History): Students will learn about the language, literature, and history of ancient Rome. We will study Latin by learning some songs, chants, and grammar, and by reciting prayers and the Pledge of Allegiance in Latin. Students will learn about the most important legends and historical events of Rome through storytelling and play-acting. During these classes, students will clean and research ancient Roman coins that they may take home at the end.
Redeemer Classical School is located at 1688 Indian Trail Road in Keezletown, just minutes from I-81. For more information, feel free to email the Stepping Stones director, Kristin Augustine.
