Veritas Press Scholars Academy

Registration opens today over at Veritas Press Scholars Academy, where I am a faculty member.  If you have any students in grades 8 and up who need a good composition class, I would be pleased to have them in one of my two composition classes at VPSA, or in one of the sections taught by my friend and colleague, Cindy Marsch. We have designed the course ( Composition 2) together, and I think it has excellent content for your would-be writers, or any students who need to prepare for writing tasks in high school, college, or beyond.

I have been very impressed with many of the faculty members at VPSA.  If you have an artistically-inclined student, I would not hesitate to place them under the tutelage of  Ken Spirduso: he has an amazing way of looking at and thinking about art!  And there are many other excellent choices listed at the link above.

VPSA is now an accredited secondary school, with about 50 faculty members.  Check it out!

My new adventure...

My new adventure, to which I have alluded in a few past posts, is a new teaching position with Veritas Press Scholars Academy (the online school associated with Veritas Press.)  The VP Scholar's Academy is in the final stages of getting its accreditation with the National Association of Christian Schools, and provides everything from single classes for home schoolers, to complete diploma programs online.  The school began just 4 or 5 years ago, and has grown to over 2000 students around 50 faculty members.  I am really excited to be joining this team!  I will be working very part-time (one class this year), and will be working closely with my friend Cindy Marsch, which will be an added treat. I m excited about working in this classical setting, with others who are just as excited as I am.  But because I am coming on board late, I am a little overwhelmed, with a steep learning curve before me.  Thus, the adventurous part of the whole thing.  I can't wait to get started, but please bear with me, Gentle Reader, if my posts are not as regular or content-filled for a few weeks!

So, if you need a good composition course for your rising 8th grader or high school student, and they have had grammar and some writing background, consider Composition II at VP Scholars Academy! There are still openings!
