NEW Classes Starting January 2019


We are adding a new class to the Sure Foundation line-up!

A new Fine Arts class for high school students will be offered for the second semester, which starts on January 17, 2019. Because of the new class we are opening registration for both second semester classes. 

**NEW** Fine Arts I: Fundamentals of Drawing (High school, one semester)

  • 1-1/2 hour class will focus on learning the fundamentals of drawing. Students will learn perspective, proportion, values (shading), and how to use the effects of light in their artwork. Students will combine each of the elements into a final still life piece. They will begin with pencil and move on to charcoal.
  • The instructor has a degree in Elementary Education and has previous experience teaching high school art in a co-op setting. She has painted murals for churches, including entire nurseries and classrooms. She has written and illustrated her own homeschool curriculum, some of which has been published and is available through Amazon.

Introduction to Business and Entrepreneurship (High school, one semester)
  • 1 hour class using the texts The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie and The Gospel of Wealth
  • The instructor will draw on the 25 business courses he has completed and condense the most interesting and practical of these into this high school level, introductory course. He will also draw on his entrepreneurial experience of co-founding and managing a local lawn-care business. Students are encouraged to bring their own entrepreneurial endeavors to the class to be used as the subject of assignments for the course. Assignments will include basic accounting exercises, review of supply and demand, working with excel spreadsheets, and creating a simple business plan. Lecture topics may include: thinking like an entrepreneur, common motivational techniques, conflict resolution, real vs. fake networking, and a brief history of business in America.
