Enrichment

Students at Hillside have the opportunity to participate in our afternoon enrichment which includes a rotational study of composers, poets, handicrafts, and nature study. Each class is structured to engage students in the beauty of the arts and nature, creating a well-rounded classical education.

Enrichment Rotation

The following topics will be rotated every week so that students get to experience many aspects of enrichment each month. Through repitition and review we feel that students will be able to master these topics by the end of the year.

  • Handicrafts

    NEEDLE FELTING

    Our students will be introduced to the beautiful art of handicrafts through needle felting. We will start with small projects and work our way up to intricate and timeless pieces that will embody their personality and serve as a testament to their childhood and time at Hillside.

  • Poetry

    POET STUDY

    This school year our students will be introduced to the works of Emily Dickenson and Robert Louis Stevenson. We will listen to beautiful poetry, sip tea, have a snack and learn how to step back and enjoy the beautiful words of those before us.

  • Music

    COMPOSER STUDY

    One of the most timeless traditions is listening to music. Why not listen to the best? Our students will be introduced to the works of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We will learn about their life, music, and why it is important today.

  • Nature Study

    TREES & PLANTS

    Students will spend time participating in nature walks along the GPF property. We will take in the beauty of God’s creation, discuss observations, and learn as we go. We will focus on trees and plants this year but will also let nature lead!
