TUESDAY CLASSES
Think! – covers reinforcement of basic skills at the child’s specific level of ability, as well as math games, mind math, and overall math stimulation. One of our chief purposes is to instill a love for math and for students to understand its usefulness. Students will use accelerated learning techniques. Parents are welcome to observe the class to learn about it.
Teacher: Cheryl Red – Grade 4, Elizabeth Hardy – Grade 3, and Sarah Silva – Grade 5
Engineering and Technology (STEM) – STEM-based education teaches children more than science and mathematics concepts. With technology and engineering education, students get to problem solve, design, and innovate while being presented with rich and varied experiences. It aims for broad technological literacy within areas such as robotics, electronics, bio technologies, and much more. Students are encouraged to show initiative, be innovative and creative, learn independently, and take responsibility. They learn teamwork and communication skills.
Teacher: Cheryl Red
Time Travelers Club – TTC is a year-long interdisciplinary course that integrates reading, literature, and history, inviting students to explore the world through engaging stories, memorable characters, and journeys across diverse time periods. The course emphasizes key reading skills—including comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and discussion—while helping students analyze complex narratives, understand multiple perspectives, and connect fiction to historical facts. Through read-alouds, independent reading, collaborative discussions, and creative projects, students respond to texts in meaningful ways. Writing, art, and hands-on activities encourage students to adopt the perspectives of historical characters through journal entries, story maps, and reflective “time traveler” projects. By year’s end, students develop strong reading skills and a deeper appreciation of history as a collection of powerful stories.
Teacher: Elizabeth Hardy
World Geography – Using a three-year rotation, students will travel across the globe visiting the countries of the world. Starting in year 1, students will visit the Americas. In year 2, students will tour Europe and year 3, Asia, Africia, and Oceania. From developing mapping skills, completing art projects, learning about languages and cultures, and sampling foods of the world, students will enjoy geography and love getting their passports stamped in each country they visit!

THURSDAY CLASSES
Art – Just like a student can learn to write, students can learn to draw! The Classical School Student will receive art training in design, perspective, and technique. They will experiment with various art forms including color theory, drawing, painting, and other media. The purpose is to introduce students to art and to stimulate an interest in art.
Teacher: Debby Jasinsksi
Language Arts – Known for its strong writing and rhetorical program, HEP introduces writing and grammar skills to our youngest writers via the Classical School Language Arts classes. The study of classical literature, coupled with lots of writing, will help each student to master grade level grammar concepts while working on basic paragraph writing skills. Taught by an experienced language arts teacher who is also a reading specialist, students will garner not only new skills but confidence in their abilities.
Teacher: Sarah Silva
History – Using the classical history program, Story of the World, students will enjoy their journey through history one period at a time. This year they will focus on the Middle Ages period, and to help them experience this time we will introduce a variety of activities. Maps, projects, hands-on activities, and games will reinforce the instructive material as they journey through the book.
Teacher: Elizabeth Hardy
Astronomy
Science – Imagine exploring the universe by travelling around the sun, moon, planets, stars, and galaxies. Students will study space travel and the history of astronomy with a variety of hands-on activities, simple experiments, and notebooking pages. The Apologia Astronomy textbook and Notebooking Journal, 2nd edition, are required. Teacher: Sue Rothberg

Tips for Success in Grades 3-5…
- Parents should set aside at least 2-3 hours per day in grades 1-5 for schoolwork. Children in grades 1-5 need supervision and teacher direction at home. Math should be done daily since practice is essential for achieving math mastery for high school.
- Schoolwork entails reading, writing, completing homework, and studying for quizzes and tests.
- Special projects and other major activities often require the parent to set aside a couple of extra hours to ensure that these assignments are completed in a timely manner.
- We are limited in what we can accomplish with your child in only 1 or 2 days. Please partner with us at home to maximize your child’s success! Conduct school on the other 3 or 4 days you are at home. Consistency and parental involvement make a world of difference to your child’s success.
- All HEP TX students must complete a math curriculum and a reading curriculum at home since the limited amount of time we have your children at the Classical School is not enough to prepare your child academically in reading and math. If you need ideas for helping your child, please talk with the ladies in the bookstore or make an appointment with Joanne Juren, Principal or Tiffany Henry, Asst. Principal.
