Beyond the Books is a Christian organization that provides supplemental classes to home school students.  Classes are offered either Wednesday or Thursday at Elmbrook Church from 9 am through noon during the school year.  Classes are provided for Kindergarten through 12th grade    

A description of our classes:

Kindergarten & 1st Grade - These enrichment-focused classes are aimed at capturing the imagination, energy, and wonder of its students as they launch into the journey of learning as a group and outside their home. 

2nd-5th Grade - Students are placed in age-appropriate groups where they will experience a variety of enrichment classes together.  They will rotate between Art, Gym, and a Writing/Speech class throughout the morning.  We seek to provide experiences and learning that is more difficult to teach at home while enabling them to build friendships and work in a group setting.    

6th-8th Grade - Middle School students rotate between a communications class and a leadership/drama class.  The communications class is jam-packed with activities and skill-building that encourages and fosters strong friendships between students.  It includes writing, speech, drama, and leadership. The focus will include team projects, various forms of speech, writing, debate, research essay, and literature.  Servant Leadership Development exists to help students develop their talents and skills to reach others.  

9th-12th High School-High School students: Literature/Composition, Leadership skills/communications/debate, creative writing, skits, and book discussions.

All grades include worship/devotional time.
