Fall Academic Classes by Arden Sleadd (GP)

Announcing Fall 2013 Classes for Academic Year 2013-14.

Offering the following classes:

Excellence in Writing
Apologia Physics
Advanced Math Lab

Courses include video instruction, which will be viewed in my home. Cost is dependent on enrollment, varying between $5-12.50/hr. Classes will meet once a week for two hours.

Excellence in Writing Course will target 12-and-up, but younger academically-advanced students can also apply. Course materials and purchases will be chosen according to current needs of students. Materials will be drawn from Andrew Pudewa's Institute for Excellence in Writing. Also, grammar and spelling will be coached if there is a need. This will dovetail well into speech club preparation, as students will read their work aloud in class and learn to use MLA format for speech competition. Enrollment Limit: eight students. Beginning September 17, and running for 24 weeks. Tuesdays 9am-11am.

Apologia Physics is a high school lab course requiring purchase of the Apologia Physics 2nd edition textbook, solutions manual, and some lab materials. Students will be required to do all written work, notes, lab write-ups, and tests. VIdeo instruction by Rusty Hughes of Apologia will be viewed in class and labs will also be done together as time allows. Enrollment Limit eight students, including my son Caleb. Beginning September 10, 2013 and running 32 weeks. Tuesdays 11:15am-1:45pm with a half-hour lunch break; bring a sack lunch.

Advanced Math is for Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-calculus and Calculus students. Math Classes will be ability-grouped and scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons. Video instruction and online tutorials will be utilized.
