Class time includes short writing activities and word exercises.  Journal writing teaches the importance of writing on a regular basis and provides material for more in-depth writing assignments. At times the Bible is used as a literary example demonstrating that it is well written and intentional.  The students consider what it means to write with integrity especially as a Christian writer.


Adolescent Education  In this weekly class seventh grade girls learn about the physical developments, emotional changes, interpersonal relationships that are happening at this time of their lives.  Th course also includes information about human sexuality.  The first weeks are spent learning, discussing and considering relationships among girls. They recognize that individually they are moving from girls to young adults.  This impacts how they view themselves and each other.  Through discussion, journaling, role plays, reading and short videos the girls are given tools to cope with these changes.
       In the lessons on sexuality, the girls learn male and female physical anatomy, the functions and reproduction.
       Because there are only girls in the class, the discussions can be open and honest.  It provides an opportunity to understand God's design for women, their relationships and their sexuality.
