ACADEMIC HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES
English Language and Literature
World History
Biology Class and Lab
English Language and Literature is designed to meet curriculum requirements in a typical UC-approved class while also giving students opportunities to follow their own interests and goals. The class includes classic and modern literature as well as various forms of writing such as creative narratives, poetry, literary analysis, personal, formal, and persuasive essays. Classes include group discussions, fun activities to improve literary analysis and writing skills, and personalized writing conferences.
World history is a comprehensive class that covers all topics in a typical UC-approved course. In addition, students and facilitators will co-create a curriculum that includes deep dives into those topics in World History that students find most intriguing. The class will include the acquisition of knowledge as well as critical thinking and communication skills. In addition to knowledge of the topics, these classes will show how students are active participants in the making of history and how they can affect their lives and the world around them.
This comprehensive biology and lab class will cover all topics in a typical UC-approved syllabus. Using a flipped-classroom model, students will research assigned topics at home before meeting for once-a-week community learning. In class students will work with classmates and have fun completing high-quality labs, demonstrations, and activities which build on their home research. Students will be given an opportunity to choose topics they find most interesting to research more fully and share their deep-dive learning with their classmates through research and presentations.
Learn the skills required to make high school a success!
​
Our first workshop will include STUDENTS and PARENTS as we set up our learning plans and systems for the year. We will set goals, make plans for logistics such as binders, timing, and places to do homework. Parents and students will spend some time together and some time working on different skills separately!
​
The following workshops will be based on student interest and need. We will talk about how to take notes, write an essay, organize a project, and more!
​
We look forward to seeing you there!

We do not yet have a specific destination in mind for 2025-26, but we are considering possibilities to enhance our world history and/or biology learning. Register for Worldschooling as a class to let us know if you are interested in learning more as we move forward in planning and decision making!
"Being able to learn under Jennifer and Jill has really benefitted my education in these last two years of high school! They provide a wonderful learning environment, and we always have fun no matter what!" ~Marlie (age 17)
"I look forward to Jen and Jill's classes every week! They are in tune with what we want to learn, and make even the most mundane subjects interesting. I never fell bored or lost in class. They are my favorite teachers and gifts to a world of boring, uninspired educators." ~Natalie (age 16)
"I CANNOT recommend Learning Journeys Forum enough. They accept (charter) funds and the classes have been life-changing for my teens. Jen & Jill have been so great with my teens, really making their transition into high school classes and a new city easier. They are astounding at accommodating different classroom needs and learning styles." ~Meg (homeschooling parent)
