Parents, you are invited to Junior High DIVE Community Day. Eighth grade students have worked really hard on their DIVE projects, and we would love for you to come and celebrate them with us.
What is DIVE?
All 8th grade students take a class called DIVE. DIVE stands for Dynamic Inquiry of Virtuous Experiences and is intended for students to explore different ideas that bring them life. The thinking is that students will be more engaged in meaningful learning when they are given the freedom to choose topics that matter to them. Through these experiences, we believe that students will learn important skills to prepare them for high school, but more importantly become more like the person the LORD created them to be.
What is DIVE Day?
DIVE day serves as an extension of our Junior High Community days which exist to build the community between families of 7th and 8th grade students. These past 10 weeks, students have been engaging with these very ideas and experiences. DIVE day serves as an opportunity for them to teach us what they have learned about their topic and themselves.
