Class Descriptions

This leadership course explores the power in the book of James and what it means to live with authentic, courageous faith in the middle of real-life pressure. The book of James challenges students to move beyond passive belief into bold, lived-out conviction — developing perseverance in trials, wisdom in decision-making, integrity in relationships, and steadiness in uncertainty. This class comes with the traditional Power Hour sense of community; this class is the perfect way to elevate your leadership and deepen friendships.

What does real leadership truly look like? Is it confidence, influence, success, or authority? The book of Proverbs offers something far deeper than outward traits—it offers wisdom. The kind of wisdom that shapes decisions, forms character, strengthens relationships, and prepares us to face real-life challenges with clarity and courage. This is not merely a study of verses—it is a training ground for leadership. Rooted in the signature Power Hour sense of community, this class creates a dynamic space for meaningful growth, deeper friendships, and shared pursuit of wisdom.

Our elementary Language Arts program combines explicit phonics instruction, rich literature, and structured writing development in a dynamic, multi-aged classroom model. Grounded in research on how students build lasting literacy skills, this course emphasizes both foundational phonics, reading fluency, and the development of deep background knowledge through meaningful content.
 

Students rotate through carefully designed learning pods based on readiness and topic focus:

Writing Lab: Direct instruction and guided practice in handwriting, grammar, sentence structure, paragraph development, and structured composition. Students explore multiple genres—from poetry and narrative writing to informational and opinion essays—while learning how strong writing is built step by step.
 

Phonics or Book Club Reading: Students move from explicit, phonics-based reading instruction to advanced, content-rich book clubs designed to build deep comprehension and background knowledge. Instruction is intentionally structured to guide students from learning to read toward reading to learn, ensuring they not only decode words fluently, but also understand, analyze, and engage with complex ideas and the enjoyment of fictional reading!
 

Reinforcement Stations: Strategic games and applied literacy activities strengthen retention, fluency, and confidence.

Rather than isolating reading skills, this program integrates vocabulary development, knowledge-rich literature, and structured writing so students grow as thoughtful readers and clear communicators. The goal is not only to improve mechanics, but to cultivate articulate, informed students who can read with understanding and write with purpose.
