Enrichment Classes - General Information - FALL 2010
Our Enrichment Class program (also known as "Monday Fun") is a huge part of BHEA. These are weekly classes held on Mondays, from August (or September) through November (or December) and then beginning again in January. See the links above for Monday Fun Enrichment Calendar, Monday Fun/Enrichment Class schedule and short biographical sketches of the teachers. For a listing of classes offered on other days at different locations, check the "offsite" link above. See the bottom of the page for Enrichment Enrollment process.
Classes for Pre-school through 6th grade are non-credit courses designed to enrich the homeschooling experience.
High School Classes are generally for 7th through 12th grade students. These classes are for credit, if needed. (You will need to find out specific requirements from your umbrella school.) Parents must help their high schoolers to be accountable in getting their work finished as required in their courses. Since these classes only meet 1 day per week, it is essential that other work is done during the week at home! Classes at this level generally run for a full year, but some changes are made each January.
For those who choose to take part in the enrichment program, it is important to remember that these classes are merely a part of your family's home education plan. Monday Fun is a fantastic place for kids and parents to meet and connect.
We do not allow drop off for this program unless your child is 14 or over or if you have made a one-time arrangement with a friend (for a doctor's appointment, sick sibling, etc.). Every parent must serve for one hour each week. You will sign up for a service hour at Kick-off.
A semester fee of $20 per family is charged, in addition to the cost of individual classes, for participation in the Enrichment program. You must be registered for BHEA before you can register for enrichment classes.
We always love having new teachers and new classes! Parents are encouraged to volunteer to teach or lead classes so that we can keep costs low for this program. Occasionally we have "outside" teachers with a unique offering come in to teach, and these classes are generally more expensive. If you have an idea for a class or would like to volunteer to teach a class, please contact any member of the Enrichment Team (enrichment@bhea.net). Classes for the spring semester are arranged in the fall.
Enrichment classes are planned and organized with much prayer and dedication by a group of volunteers known as the "enrichment team." They have worked many hours in scheduling classes, working around teacher's schedules and preferences, and planning for kick-off. If you have questions about enrichment classes, please contact the enrichment team at enrichment@bhea.net.
If you missed Enrichment class sign-ups which were held on Tuesday, July 27, you can still register for classes, which begin August 23rd for high school and some 7th-12th grade classes and September 13th for preschool, elementary, 5th-8th grade, and adult classes.
