Students in Grade 9 Geography are studying a unit on politics, which will culminate in them learning about the political and voting systems of their passport country. So far they have been learning about some basic political concepts, and some different types of government. The class has just finished making models to show who has power, how they maintain their power, and what role the people play in some forms of government.

Grade 7/8 History are learning about the Age of Exploration. In order to understand the impacts of exploration on both Europe and the Americas, they are briefly studying the Aztec and Inca empires to see how these people lived before European contact. A comparison was made between the social structures of Medieval Europe and the Aztec empire; one task was to create a model to show the similarities and differences between them, as well as to show the responsibilities and obligations different members of the societies had to one another.

In Chapel we saw a video testimony from LeCrae, a rap artist, whose life was radically changed by the Lord Jesus.
