Learning outside the box since 2006!
Celebration Education uses themes to organize all the learning for the year. Each year is a different theme, as chosen by families. Each week is a different topic based on the theme. Weekly classes integrate several school subjects such as math, reading, social studies, science, language arts, etc. The weekly topic can be enjoyed in workshop classes, at field trips, in theme parks, and on Minecraft!
This theme was originally done in 2018-2019
Discover the Hero's Journey in five great stories
These are the classic works we used last time we did this theme. We could potentially change the books when we repeat this theme.
Each student is the hero in their own journey as they go on adventure, accept challenges, and work toward victory.
