Astronomy might be considered the first science. Charting the movements of the stars and planets was one of man’s earliest "scientific" endeavors.
We will be using Dr. Sarah Salviander’s Astronomy and Astrophysics materials. This class uses an online text that can be found at https://sixdayscience.com/curriculum/textbooks/. Students will need to purchase the Activity & Lab Book and the Exam Book to comply with the course’s user agreement. Further information will be sent after registration.
We’ll be using the course Biblical Supplement along with the regular course materials to demonstrate that astronomy and Biblical teaching are not in conflict.
This is a full-year course intended to satisfy a student’s high school science credit requirements. A student should have familiarity with algebra, and we will review math concepts as necessary.
Requires Astronomy and Astrophysics Lab and Activities e-book, Astronomy and Astrophysics Test Book. Some labs will require nighttime sky viewing. Prerequisite: Algebra
Homework: 5+ hours/week, some labs will require nighttime sky viewing

Your student will explore and learn about the sun, planets, asteroid belt, dwarf planets, the Kuiper belt galaxies, nebulae, and even black holes as they reveal the marvel and might of our loving Creator. Their awareness of the beauty of the universe and its Creator will expand as they expand their studies to the far reaches of what we can see out in space.
This course is designed to take students one step deeper in automotive maintenance skills than Basic Car Care. We will continue to learn about each of the major systems on a vehicle, how they operate, and how they are maintained. With more access to the shop area, we expect to do more hands on activities with approximately 50% classroom time and 50% shop time. The supply fee includes safety glasses and misc supplies. Taught by a 30+ year Cascadia Technical Academy Auto Tech Instructor.
Requirements:
Wearing of safety glasses while in the shop. Ability to follow directions, especially safety instructions and rules.
In this class we learn about automotive technology using the current projects that are available to us at the center. This includes the Mustang and the Suburban as well as other projects that may come up. We discuss the theory of operation for systems & projects that we take on for each vehicle. Over time, we will cover basic theory of operation, maintenance, and light repair of all major systems on a vehicle.
Requirements:
Ability to follow directions, especially safety rules. An interest in mechanical things and an eagerness to learn.

Celebrate the fun of fall with our sensory-rich, play-based preschool class designed especially for curious toddlers and preschoolers! Each week, children will explore the colors, textures, and sounds of autumn through hands-on activities like pumpkin & gourd comparisons, leaf suncatchers, pine cone art, and splat-painted fall trees. From sunflower seed tweezing and pumpkin goo sensory bags, we’ll nurture fine motor skills, creativity, and early science discovery. With a blend of art, music, sensory play, and outdoor discovery, this class will leave your child excited to learn and explore every crisp leaf and pinecone they find. Join us in a seasonal journey where nature and learning go hand in hand!
Requirements:
Children must be able to attend class without parent (special needs with a student helper is fine). Students need to use restroom before class, and have a parent available on Slack for bathroom breaks during class.
Awesome Architects is a class for kids who like to build and create. Each week we will be learning new ways to create building structures from the book, "Awesome Architecture Activities for Kids." Depending on the size of each structure, the detail and finishing work involved, some buildings will take 2-3 classes to finish. When each building is complete, your child will bring it home.
Requirements:
Weekly attendance is very important as many of our projects will take 2-3 classes to complete. If your child is sick then I will send the materials home that they need to complete it. However, if this class conflicts with vacation/family plans, perhaps another class would be a better choice.
Want to start babysitting? Learn all the basics of child care from feeding, diapering, playing, discipline, and safety. You will develop the knowledge to care for a child in a safe and responsible way. The course will include an optional CPR and first aid training.
