Thinker Day | Ages 4-14 | Terra Arts

Thinker Day is currently offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You may select either Tuesday OR Wednesday to attend Thinker Day depending on your preference and our availability. On Thinker Day, TK-5th grade students focus on History with Art, Reading & Literature, Science, Geography, and Fine Arts. Students in 6th-8th grade focus on History with Art, Reading & Literature, Science, and Foundations in Music.

This program explores a different era of history each year through our five-year historical rotation: Thy Ancient Experience, Thy Medieval Experience, Thy Age of Discovery, Thy American Experience, and Thy Modern Experience.

History Comes Alive Through Art

Offered for 30 weeks from September through May, Thinker Day follows the curriculum outlined in The Story of the World, with each student beginning the year with a blank sketchbook that becomes a personal visual record of their study of history. By the end of the academic year, your student will have written and illustrated a 30-chapter book that highlights the people, places, and stories connected to the academic year’s historical theme.

A Look Into Thinker Day

This year, we are embarking on a journey through medieval history. While students will learn history through art guided by The Story of the World curriculum, they will also explore the medieval period in every subject. Students will read stories inspired by the Middle Ages in Reading & Literature, investigate medieval inventions and discoveries in Science, explore the lands and cultures that shaped the medieval world in Geography, and engage with art styles from the era in Fine Arts.

Your Roadmap for the Year

The Thinker Day Prep Book will take all the guesswork out of your homeschooling journey. For each subject, families will use the Prep Book to see what students need to complete before class and what students will accomplish during class. With clear weekly guidance, parents can confidently support their student's learning on campus and at home. We will provide a Prep Book for Elementary students and Jr. High students.

Taking the Next Step in Jr. High

Our Jr. High program for grades 6th-8th builds on the elementary foundation with greater academic depth, discussion, and hands-on exploration. Students develop advanced artistic techniques in History with Art, investigate through expanded experiments in Science, and deepen their writing and literary skills in Reading & Literature. Exclusive to Jr. High, History of Music deconstructs the fundamentals of music and instruments before putting that knowledge into the students’ hands through performance.
