But, what the tutorial has decided to concentrate on is covering the traditional high school literature and science courses for all four years if possible. This means a traditional classes like Intro, World, American and British Lit I and a fairly traditional science offering- Earth, Bio, Chemistry and Physics.
In addition they are offering a course that is essentially Government/Econ and also a course that is Speech one semester and Drama the next. These courses are partially offered because we have these great teachers! ;-)
For elementary we've always covered an hour each of literature, science, and art. They are divided by grades into three groups- 1/2, 3/4, 5/6.
For middle school they are trying to prepare the students for the high school courses, so they are offering literature classes for 7th and 8th, plus Life Science and Physical Science classes.At this level we also have electives, mainly dependent on the teachers we have available. The electives next year are: NC History, Computer Programming plus Speech and Drama.
I now this isn't exactly what you were asking, but I guess I'm sharing it because the vision of this tutorial seems to be enrichment for elementary, high school preparation for middle schoolers and traditional college prep courses for high school. The tutorial has focused on literature and science because these are the ones many homeschoolers feel inadequate to teach.
I hope this is of some use.
