Practical Psychology introduces the student to basic psychological and counseling tools and concepts that are most likely to impact the student in their real, day-to-day life. Concepts covered include a brief overview of the field of psychology, and the benefits of considering the inner workings of soul, mind, emotion, and memory.
Students will be introduced to common self-reflection tools such as the Genogram, the Ecogram, the Enneagram, mindfulness and interoception, and will be given opportunity to reflect on select aspects of their personal story. A goal of these discussions is to introduce students to daily practices of pausing, reflecting, and cultivating a balance between self-awareness and self-obsession.
Further discussions will explore current major issues in the mental health field. Students will be introduced to Family Systems and Internal Family Systems, genetics and epigenetics, mirror neurons and attachment science. Other discussions will explore major diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, ADHD, Bipolar, and Schizophrenia. These discussions will discuss the diagnoses from a third party perspective, exploring what a given diagnosis does and does not mean. Students will be offered exposure to brief and initial screening measures, but will be cautioned against self-diagnosis.
Students will also be offered information about the counseling industry, and information on how to access and navigate resources. For example, students will be taught the difference between pastoral and professional counsel, and within the professional world, the difference between a counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker, and the difference between counseling and “Rehab.”
Requirements:
Students should be at least 13 years old.
Given the nature of these discussions, a certain level of maturity and prior education is assumed. Topics such as sex and pornography, drugs and alcohol, suicide and self-harm, trauma, and abuse may be periodically mentioned at relevant intervals throughout the class. Mention of these topics will be meant to equip students with language to contemplate real-world application of psychological concepts.
God made our bodies to move and our hearts to praise! In this energetic children will jump, stretch, dance, and groove to worship songs that teach Bible truths. Through fun fitness games, rhythm instruments, and joyful expression, kids will learn that staying active can be an act of worship.

Parents are required to attend the mandatory CORE Classes Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 26th at 6:45pm or August 28th at 2:45pm. This curriculum covers: positive and negative numbers, exponents, expanded and exponential notation, roots and radicals, variables, geometric formulas, rations and proportions, polynomials, irrational numbers, square root formula, and more. It is very important that the student has a good understanding of: fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), along with multiplying and dividing with decimals. We'll get through it together!
Students will be required to watch a weekly math video on Google Classroom before coming to class each Monday.
Parents will be required to sign their students workbook and test book each week.
