This year we have rolled out new Social Emotional Learning opportunities in your students Cohort. One of those pieces is the adoption of The YouSchool program. These guided, self-reflective conversations with peers and a trained YouSchool Guide (their Cohort teacher), is an opportunity for our students to grow in Self-Awareness, Self-Confidence, and Self-Direction.

A great supplement The YouSchool program provides are great Podcasts that you can choose to listen to with your student(s) to have meaningful conversations at home. We will be sharing with you the Podcasts which align with our monthly topics.

This month the topic is SQUAD. Focusing on building healthy relationships. Take the time to listen to SQUAD with your child, on The YouSchool Podcast. It is a great way to start meaningful conversations and stay connected!

Great Opportunities:

New Elective Class offered at CAHS:

The Counseling and English departments are excited to announce a new (g) ELECTIVE being offered in the fall. The course will be called "Survey of Classical Literature" and will be taught on Mondays from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. by Mr. Holz. If you have an interest in taking the course please e-mail the Guidance Technician at lfletcher@classicalacdemy.com.

Survey of Classical Literature is a year-long course aimed at an in-depth study of a broad range of classical literature and classical non-fiction. The course is divided up into four units, with each unit covering short story and/or short essay readings and classical novel study. Students will read, discuss, and write about works from authors such as Thucydides, Homer, Tennyson, More, Shakespeare, Hawthorne, Dickens, Homer, Herodotus, Plutarch, Virgil, Dante, Cervantes, Chaucer, Machiavelli, Bacon, Milton, Locke, Swift, Tolstoy, Bronte, Conrad, etc. Additionally, students will read, discuss and write about several key novels, chosen from a provided Great Books list. Writings will consist of annotations, discussion notes, and formal essays. Key assignments will develop reading comprehension, fluency, literary response and analysis, writing strategies and applications, written and oral English language conventions, and listening and speaking strategies and applications. Survey of Classical Literature will focus on the basic elements of listening, speaking, reading and writing in order to cultivate the thinking mind in students. This course will meet weekly on Mondays from 8-10am and center around Socratic dialogue sessions and writing pieces. Students can expect a rigorous amount of independent reading and writing assignments in addition to memorization and recitation of classic poetry. It is recommended that the enrolled student be a confident and proficient reader with a desire for challenge in literature and thinking. Students may take this course multiple times as each year’s reading list will differ, covering much of the classical literature of the western world.
