Media Makers £12 – INDEPENDENTLY RUN
13 years+ 9:30am-10:30am on Thursdays.
Using photography, audio and video to express ourselves, we will tell stories and explore our communities. The students will work on story telling projects using different media. Projects to include Photo Essay, Audio essay (podcast) and Video essay (short film). Each project will allow YP to find and share their voice in relation to their experiences and communities.
Exploring Literature £12 – INDEPENDENTLY RUN
13years+ 10:30am-11.45am on Thursday’s
A deep dive into famous authors and their work. We will be examining what writing elements made their works international successes and discussing how we relate to the characters, plots and themes in these works. Students will participate in open dialogue and try their hand at applying the skills we discover. This class aims at improving reading comprehension, analysis, critical thinking skills and improving public speaking. It will serve those taking GCSEs well and be a great experience for anyone interested in literature and writing.
Students will have some input as to which authors we examine and will be expected to do outside reading and writing. I pride myself on providing engaging and entertaining learning experiences and hope that your student can join us in this learning adventure

OTHER INFORMATION
Math/English/History/Geography is Classical Education. What is Classical Education?
Classical education is a liberal arts education rooted in ancient history. “Liberal”, in this case, means “free”. Classical education prepares young people to live in freedom and independence, engaging them in the highest matters and the deepest questions of truth, justice, virtue, and beauty. Academically, a classical education encompasses:
A content-rich, traditional curriculum, including the use of classical books and art
Concentrated study of the core academic disciplines: history, literature, mathematics, and science
An appreciation for—and study of—the visual and performing arts
A strong emphasis on language, literacy, writing, and mastery of the English language
Reading of the great books in literature and primary source documents in history
Socratic teaching by kind-hearted teachers who are subject matter experts
