CCS Middle and High School Class Descriptions
Math Helps / Tutorial (Grade 8)
Mrs. Rhonda Ewasiuk
This course is a math tutorial class, offered to students who either do not have an appropriate math course available, or who need tutoring with their current math course. The instructor will be available during class time to assist each student with questions, homework problems, or explanations of math topics. Because of the individualized attention required for each student, class size will be limited to ten students. Students are required to bring their math books, homework assignments, and any questions each week to class. Each student's needs will be assessed at the beginning of the class to ensure that appropriate and adequate time is spent with each student in the areas that will benefit them most. This plan may be reassessed at the request of the student, the parent(s), or the instructor during the year as the student progresses is his/her coursework.

Mrs. Tammy Lanzi
Have you ever wondered about who was here in America before the Europeans first set foot in this New World? Who would want to risk all they owned, even their lives to establish new colonies, new ideas, and new politics? Why did so many need a new place to establish religious freedom? Through a variety of interesting activities in the textbook and in the classroom, the students will learn about Early American history. Using the first half of the American Republic, we will look at many civilizations that were in the Americas before the Explorers, the difficulties encountered while establishing the first colonies and states, their revolution from England, the complicated process of establishing a nation, and the expansion of that nation. Our study will end just before the Civil War in 1861. Textbooks: Bob Jones American Republic (second edition) and the American Republic Student Activities book.Latin I (Grade 8)
Mrs. Missy Oliphant
"Latin is a language, Dead as can be. First it killed the Romans, And now it's killing me!" This little bit of wit is a good example of Latin's bad reputation. Contrary to popular belief, Latin is not "too hard". We need not perpetuate the myth that Latin is difficult when the truth is that many aspects of Latin are similar to English. For example, look at the following words: elephantus, dictator, navigamus, Europa, Italia, intellegntia, gloria. Did you have trouble translating these? What's so hard about that? So, why study a "dead" language?
1. English is alive and kicking - it changes all the time. Compare, for example, the English language of Chaucer - forsworn, hath - to the English of today - Internet, IM, texting, rap. By the time this is printed our modern English will have already morphed! Because Latin won't change, it's the language of law and science. Latin is also the foundation of many other languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, etc. That means Latin is alive through other modern languages.
2. Latin feels like "home" - Because English evolved mostly from Latin roots, Latin vocabulary will feel familiar to you. Over 70% of English is Latin-based. And because grammar for Latin is the basis for English grammar, many students comment that after taking Latin, they FINALLY "get" English grammar.
3. Latin reminds us that we are connected to something older. - Certainly, studying Latin brings us, as Christians, greater understanding of the minds and hearts of the pioneers of the early Christian Church. How powerful your own prayer time can be when you speak the words to the 'Pater Noster' [The Lord's Prayer] in the SAME language used by the early Christians hiding in the Roman catacombs!
4. Another great advantage of studying Latin is that you won't have difficult conversational exercises to do! Just think--no Roman alive today will embarrass you by correcting your Latin!
Latin I will cover noun cases, the first two declensions for nouns, the first two conjugations of active voice verbs in all common verb tenses, readings and translations, grammatical constructions, various Latin readings--most from the Vulgate, the Latin Bible--and a vocabulary of over 200 words and phrases. Upon successful completion of the course and objectives, students will receive a 1.0 credit in Latin I.

The P.A.T.H I: Finding Your Compass - Jesus Christ (Grades 7-8)
Mr. Joshua Allen

The Brotherhood is scheduled on the Winter Springs and Circle campus and is open to all Circle students. Registration is required.
Girl Talk (Grades 7-8)
Ms. Andrea McClure
This environment focuses on developing and encouraging young women to be all they can be for Christ.

Many forces in the world are out to destroy everything princess-like and innocent about girls. The goal is to help girls fight for the protection of innocence and learn to embrace the truth of who they are in Christ.
Andrea has a passion for investing in the lives of young women, encouraging them to be all they can be for Christ. Her hope is for each young woman to discover something new about herself, and to grow closer to Christ as a result!

Mr. Allen McCoy
(Grades 11-12 only with permission of the Director of Group Classes Development and the teacher)
This year CCS is adding the AP English Literature and Composition course. Reading in an AP course is both broad and deep, and will build upon the reading done in previous English courses. In this AP course, students read works from a myriad of genres and periods in literature--from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century. Because they read deliberately and thoroughly, taking time to understand a work's complexity, to absorb its richness of meaning, and to analyze how that meaning is expressed in literature, students get to know a few works very well.
In addition to studying literary beauty, students will reflect on the social and historical perspectives the readings reflect and symbolize. Fine scrutiny of both textual detail and historical context provides a foundation for interpretation. The approach that will be employed involves the following elements: the experience of literature, the interpretation of literature, the evaluation of literature, and the written expression of thinking. Writing to understand a literary work may involve writing response and reaction papers, annotation, free writing, and/or keeping some form of a reading journal. Students will read and process over 25 works of literature and will be responsible for extensive summer 2009 reading. In order to receive credit as an AP course, all students must take and pass the annual standard AP exam scheduled in May 2010.
