Our School Year

From Life Take 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just wanted to share a few quick facts with you that affect our school year. Because SL is based upon a 36 week year for school and I have chosen to school year round -- I have had to make some adjustments to our schedule. We school year round because learning is not something that you do for a short time but something that you do all your life, something that should be as natural as breathing and praising God.

We take several breaks throughout the school year and a longer one during the summer. These are not break from school but rather breaks from our usual curriculum. For information on what we do during these breaks, see our unit study page. Most of the unit studies are picked based upon our children's interest but not all. Like this summer, we are doing a review of skills that we have learned so far. This is so that I know where we are at. More information on this on the other page.
