A Program for Academics and Enrichment
Level Up! Is new for the 2023/2024 school year. 4th and 5th grades are a transition for many students. Expectations, understanding, and increased personal responsibility are great hallmarks of this age group. Level Up! gives students the opportunity to explore these growing skills in a supporting, coaching environment.
Classes are offered across three days. Each family may choose one, two, or three days based on your student’s needs and goals. Each day will feature two specific subjects. On Tuesday, students will romp Around the World’s Language and study Language Arts. Wednesday features math and a hands-on art class, teaching design and model building. Thursday focuses on Science Exploration paired with The Show Me State: Missouri!
Classes start at 10:00 am. The morning session finishes at 11:30 am, giving the students a full hour for lunch and recess before returning to class at 12:30 for the afternoon session. The afternoon session finishes at 2:00 pm. A small fee of $25 per day provides adult oversight during recess/lunch. Full day enrollment is required. Families may choose one, two, or three days.
Please note that several of the classes have no textbook required, or only a workbook needed. In some cases, Berea Academy has listed a Copy Fee, with no textbook selected. The Copy Fee will provide quality color copies of reference materials, worksheets, home activities, and other paper based work for the class, as well as a 3 ring binder to contain the papers.
