 Grades 5 - 8 Grades 5 - 8 are a great group of students! We are a family in this classroom, and seek an active, growing and personal relationship with Jesus Christ above all else. In addition to our strong core academics, we offer a variety of classes & tools to enrich their knowledge and develop their skills for the future... Music: Band (taught by the band and choir directors from UCA). Private lessons for piano and guitar are available as well. Some of our 7th & 8th grade students even participate in the academy band and choir! We also use guitars and other instruments to sing hymns and praises throughout the week. Physical Education: During the winter we go ski at Lookout Pass four or five times! For daily P.E., we learn a variety of sports, and are able to utilize UCA's gymnasium during inclement weather. Also, some of our students tryout for and participate in the academy's junior varsity sports programs! Languages: Spanish (taught by a master's student from EWU).  Technology: Typing Tutor, Microsoft Office projects, filtered internet access for research, and engaging audio & visual media to supplement our learning. We have enough computers for each student to have their own (Macs & PCs).Tutoring: offered across the street at UCA (contact librarian: 245-3610). Library: books of multiple genres and topics, with an extensive collection of Christian/Inspirational stories, that attract readers of all levels. We also have numerous Ellen White books, Seventh-day Adventist Bible commentaries, and Biblical encyclopedias to enhance our understanding of the God of the Bible. This year we have two 5th graders, six 7th graders, and seven 8th graders, equaling a grand total of 15 intelligent students!
