This year we started ten (10) new classes that will be offered to students of any grade level!















As you know this year Countryside Academy has introduced ten new classes to our students...
  1. Astronomy Studies (1 credit)In this class the students will study astronomy."We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about wherether was made or only just happened." ~Mark Twain
  2. Religious Art (1.5 credits)In this class the students will learn about how artists use art to express their religion and how religion was the key of some artists most famous pieces of work."Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers."~Nathaniel Hawthorne
  3. World Government History (also U.S. Government History available)(2 credits)In this class the students will learn about governments from the past in all different places of the world."I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences." ~Walt Whitman
  4. Ancient Mathematics (2 credits)In this class the students will learn where math came from and how it started.  The students will also work on present day math problems using numbers from ancient times."A man is usually more careful of his money than he is of his principles."~Ralph Waldo Emerson
  5. Mystery Writing (1 credit)In this class the students will learn the fundamentals of mystery writing."I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat." ~Edgar A. Poe
  6. Poetry Journals (.5 credit)In this class the students will learn to express themselves through poetry."Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words." ~Edgar A. Poe
  7. Stress Relief (.5 credit) In this class the students will learn different ways to relieve stress in a safe way."As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
  8. Nature Class (1 credit) In this class the students will learn about nature. They will become closer to nature and learn to respect nature more."Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
  9. Community/World Help (2 credits+5 hours of community service) In this class students will work on helping end various problems in the community or in the world."For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
  10. Book History and Studies (1.5 credits) In this class students will learn about the banning of books and things like that.  The students will become more aware of the authors of past times."If some books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men? Those whom books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not books, should be forbid." ~Herman Melville


 
















These classes will be taught in a classroom. All classes are taught in classrooms. Each classroom is equipped with numerous books relating to the subject, 1 computer and desks for which the pupils will sit in while attending that class.
 
*NOTE:* the Nature Class does not take place inside of the school but rather in the school garden or in the forest.  This is because we feel that the additional change in environment will be helpful to the understanding of the subject.
