Join us for the
'23-'24 School Year
Enrollment for classes in the '22-'23 school year is closed. Service Club and Drama Club will be accepting new members through January 2023. Contact us now for information about the '23-'24 school year. Classes meet on Thursdays and clubs meet on Tuesdays. Tutoring is available by appointment. We serve middle and high school students in Historic Lawrenceville.
Thursday Classes
Scriptwriting/Play Production
A year long elective class. Semester one students will learn storytelling techniques, character development, and dialogue in order to become better storytellers. Students will also learn how to outline, develop, and pitch their works while gaining a grasp of screenplay analysis. Second semester students will explore the process of staging a theatrical show. This includes play analysis, publicity, and technical theatre.
American History
A year long elective class. American history is a required high school course for students matriculating to many Colleges and Universities. This course will cover pre-colonial history through the modern era. The time frame will correlate with that of the World History class. We conclude our year around the Raegan administration to allow sufficient distance for historical analysis.
Modern History
The Modern period is associated with fundamental changes from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries. The period begins with the end of Pre-modern age and while this era continues to present day, we will end with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Literature is integrated into this course and novels will include Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Around the World in 80 Days, and Night by Elie Wiesel.
Tuesday Clubs
Service Club
The EarlyAct Club of Hazelwood Gwinnett gives students who are 13 y.o. & younger an opportunity to engage in service projects, while a newly chartered Interact club will be available for students 12-18 y.o. These clubs are divisions of Rotary International.
Science Bowl
The Hazelwood Prep Science Bowl clubs will have middle and a high school teams. Students will study science facts and trivia to prepare for the Science Bowl competitions- a fast-paced tournament organized by the United States Department of Energy.
Additional Clubs TBD
Additional clubs will be dependent upon interest and instructor availability.
PASSION PROJECTS
What is a Passion Project?
A passion project is not defined by the parent or instructor. It is your opportunity to control your education and learn through something you are passionate about.
A passion project should excite and motivate you. You could decide to establish a business or Nor For Profit organization, write a blog or book, start a community initiative, undertake independent research, or invent something.
How do I get started?
- Sign up for our passion project mentorship program
- Meet with mentor(s) on a weekly basis who will help you make connections and set up your proposal.
- Continue working on the steps of your proposal through fruition.
