HOmeschool Classes at freedom 2025-26

At Freedom Christian Academy, professional educators provide weekly, in-class lessons designed to inspire curiosity, build foundational knowledge, and foster critical thinking skills. Here's what we offer:

• Science & Social Studies (K–8th grade) - Our units of study for 2025-26 are chemistry, biomes, geology, American history and geography.
• Studio: Beyond the Books (4th–5th & 6th-8th grade) – An interactive, hands-on learning experience that enhances critical thinking and problem-solving.
• Bible History (6th–12th grade) – Dive deep into the historical context of the Bible and its relevance today.
• Piano Lessons (2nd–12th grade) – Develop musical skills and creativity through one-on-one lessons with skilled instructors.

Our teachers create engaging lessons that combine traditional subject matter with hands-on and minds-on learning experiences, sparking student curiosity and deepening their understanding of each subject.

Overview: The 3rd–5th grade classroom offers an exciting dive into science and social studies through hands-on experiments, collaborative projects, and independent work. Young scientists will develop critical thinking skills as they learn to ask questions, make predictions, and embrace mistakes as part of the learning process. Social studies will come to life with engaging topics in economics, geography, history, and culture.

Reading to Learn: Designed for students who are in the “reading to learn” stage, the 3rd–5th grade classroom builds on reading and writing skills. While parents focus on reading comprehension and structured writing at home, classroom lessons will integrate these skills through the study of science and social studies texts. This balanced approach helps students strengthen their reading and writing skills in a meaningful, subject-driven context.

Our Wednesday Morning Studio Classes—called Studio: Beyond the Books—offer students the opportunity to go beyond their independent home lessons and engage in collaborative class learning. These studio sessions are designed to complement, rather than replace, your child’s core lessons in math and literature.

In Literature Studio, taught by Mrs. Clark, students will dive deeper into the material, explore themes and author perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills.  In Math Studio, Mrs. Ayres will emphasize active problem-solving and real-world applications to deepen students’ understanding of basic mathematical concepts. The goal is to move beyond rote memorization and calculation, challenging students to apply their foundational knowledge creatively and critically to unfamiliar situations. —all of which extend far beyond the textbook lessons.

These Studio classes provide a unique opportunity to reinforce and connect students’ learning experiences, fostering both independent thinking and collaborative growth. There are 2 age group classes available: 4th-5th & 6th-8th.

Freedom Christian Academy offers individual piano lessons for students in 2nd through 12th grades! This elective covers foundational skills like keyboard layout, note identification, and hand positioning. Students will learn to read music, explore basic theory (chords, key signatures), and develop creativity through improvisation and composition. The quarterly fee includes 12 weekly half-hour lessons to be set up with the instructor. A lesson book is required and will be purchased separately.

By the end of the course, students will:

• Identify and play every note on the piano.
• Understand foundational music theory and key signatures.
• Read and write music using a staff.
• Play a variety of songs and compose original pieces.

Lessons will taught by LifePoint's own worship leader, Aleah Grabowski. Her heart for worship through music will help build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of music in your students.
