Canceling the Worldview Class…Maybe

It’s with great hesitancy that I’m announcing the possible cancellation of both Worldview Class sections for the 2011-2012 school year.

To keep a section open, we need 15 students per section, but currently, that number is far below what we need in order to launch the class.

In light of that, we’re going to give it another week. If we can have 15 students register by next Wednesday, we’ll keep that section open. If not, then I’ll trust the sovereign hand of God as He guides the school year in what I’m sure will be delightful new direction.

Either way, we’ll make the final decision next Wednesday (8/31).

If you want to join us this year, send me an e-mail (david@worldviewclass.org) or give me call (503.201.7631).

For those of you who may be waiting for next year, all I can say is that canceling class this year will seriously jeopardize the chances of a class next year. So I strongly recommend signing up for this year.

Click here to see the details for this year’s class and, as always, you can find a whole crop of details at http://worldviewclass.org If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just contact me.

This class has received immense support from all of our families and I can’t thank you all enough for your prayers and encouragement.

I hope to be working with you this year!

Time Change for Wednesday’s Section

The Wednesday section will be meeting from 12pm-2pm (rather than 12:30-2:30pm). That should help those of you who had other class obligations on Wednesday afternoons. Hope that helps!

The Year in Review

What a year!

The last 36 weeks was an amazing time of learning and growth –for both the students and me.  These 19 students comprised the third and largest worldview class to date.  Collectively, they submitted over 175 essays and reflection papers.  They also completed well over 100 tests including The Beast, our 24-page comprehensive final exam.  I cannot tell you how proud I am of their work and effort.
