Christians United for Better Schooling
6th-8th Grade Classes are for children ages 11-13 years old.
The classes offered are to enrich, engage, and help your children to grow and develop into Christ-following individuals. The love of Christ is shown to all the children in these classes. We are here to help your children develop life skills that they can take with them into adult hood, in a safe and loving environment.

This course will focus on developing various life skills including communication, decision-making, problem-solving and critical thinking. We will study basic self defense, social media and online safety, basic first aid, navigational skills, wilderness survival and weather safety, nutrition and much more. My goal is to have the class working in groups and interacting as much as possible to also strengthen teamwork and communication skills.
Nature Exploration Journaling and Hot Cocoa
Ages: 9-14
Teacher: Shannon Kim
Class Time: 10:00 am-11 am
4-8 Combined class
Winter in Chicago is cold! And we find ourselves indoors a good deal. But this can also be a beautiful time to bundle up, get some fresh air, sunshine and exercise as we observe the natural world around us. We may just need to look a little bit more closely as winter melts into spring. Using well-known naturalist and author John Muir Law’s guide, “How To Teach Nature Journaling: Curiosity, Wonder, Attention,” we’ll go outside to do fun activities that hone our observation skills, as well as be indoors for a cozy time of journaling and enjoying hot chocolate.
