9-12th Grade

We are excited to announce a new high school program this year that will include several course options. In order to participate in our high school program we require students to stay for the whole day, enroll in the Bible course, and sign up for at least one full semester course. Study hall will be provided for each period of the high school day.

Bible

At Harbor, we build community through Christ throughout all instructional levels. Bible is a required course for all Harbor high school students. This year, we will explore Foundations in Worship, published by Masterbooks. A unique course in hymnology, we will study a beautiful array of traditional hymns of the Christian church. Students learn the history behind the songs, more about the authors and composers, and the Scriptural roots of the rich lyrics themselves. They will dig into their Bibles, listen to hymns, sing them, and make class presentations on select hymns. Your child will learn how to build peer community around worship, the Word, and our great God!

Students will be required to complete weekly assignments and any assigned class presentations. Families can easily opt to expand this course at home to fulfill a 1-hour elective in Bible. The student textbook easily lends itself to a self-study course with family presentations to complete the material. We invite you to learn more at masterbooks.com.

World Art

This high school art course is designed to ignite creativity in students while helping them refine their artistic skills. Over the year, they will explore and create art inspired by cultures from around the world, learning to thoughtfully plan their projects from concept to completion. Students will practice various techniques and work with diverse materials, such as charcoal, pastels, paint, and watercolor. Emphasis will be placed on composition, balance, and unity, allowing students to create compelling and visually engaging works of art.

Using vivid illustrations and clear explanations, this health and nutrition course takes a holistic approach to exploring physical, nutritional, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual concepts.” Apologia.com

High school students will enjoy learning and building sports skills and playing team sports with their peers (past sports have included kickball, volleyball, ultimate frisbee). The goal of this class is to provide students with physical activity while learning skills for successful group or team play. This class will be a great opportunity for students to work towards their high school PE requirement, while developing team building skills, exercising, and having a great time with friends.
