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.

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!

English Language and Literature
American Government & Economics
Chemistry Class and Lab
English Language and Literature is co-designed English class. Students work with Jill and Jennifer to choose classic and modern literature as well as various forms of writing such as creative narratives, poetry, literary analysis, personal, formal, and persuasive essays. Together, students and facilitators co-create a curriculum that addresses student goals, interests and academic requirements. Classes include group discussions, fun activities to improve literary analysis and writing skills, and personalized writing conferences.
American Government and Economics will be offered sequentially during semesters 1 and 2. These comprehensive classes will cover all topics in a typical UC-approved courses. In addition, students and facilitators will co-create a curriculum that includes deep dives into those topics in Government and Economics 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 can actively participate in their government and in the economics of their country and their lives.
This comprehensive chemistry 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.

"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)
