  • Middle School Writing: Science Projects

Curiosity leads the way! Students pick a science topic, research it, design an experiment (optional), and then share their findings in a format of their choice. Kids build research savvy, critical thinking, and polished science writing skills—perfect for portfolios or fairs.

  • Middle School Writing: Nonfiction Projects

From how-to guides to personal essays, students explore the wide world of nonfiction writing. They’ll learn to inform, explain, and express their ideas with clarity and creativity—all while developing revision and editing skills.

  • Middle School Writing: Passion Projects

Your child’s favorite topic becomes their favorite writing project! Whether it’s sharks, soccer, or Star Wars, students research, reflect, and write about what they love—while learning how to organize ideas, cite sources, and revise with purpose.

  • History Writing: History Projects

Students choose a favorite object—from video games to fashion—and uncover its historical roots. Along the way, they build timelines, practice research, and write engaging narratives that connect the past to the present.

  • Nature Journaling

Step outside and let nature be your guide! In this class, students blend scientific observation with poetic expression—drawing, labeling, and writing to capture the wonder of the natural world. A gentle way to build writing habits and connect with the outdoors.

  • History Writing: Current Events

This class empowers teens to engage with the world through thoughtful reading, discussion, and writing about today’s headlines. Students learn to analyze news sources, explore multiple viewpoints, and craft well-supported opinions on current issues that matter to them.

Teens become historical investigators—analyzing primary sources, weighing multiple perspectives, and drawing their own conclusions. Students practice critical thinking and argumentative writing as they explore how history is recorded, remembered, and retold.
