In January 2013 HCA will be introducing an exciting new program for students in
grades 9-12 called Winterim. On Tuesday, January 8th, Winterim will begin with a series of special elective
classes for students in grades 9-12 to allow students to explore topics and
activities that are not a part of their regular curriculum. Regular classes will be
suspended during this time. The schedule will look something like this
TUES - FRIDAY(1/8-11): Winterim will have block style classes of 90-120 minutes in length (two in the morning, one in the afternoon). Those can be Tue/Thur classes, Wed/Fri classes, or MTThF classes.
MONDAY (1/14): Winterim 2013 will conclude with activities focusing on God’s calling in each student’s life. Included in this time will be the administration of a DISC-type personality/giftedness assessment to help students see God’s hand in their life.
A successful Winterim needs to provide a variety of choices for students, and parental involvement is crucial to make this happen. Many parents and friends of HCA have skills and expertise from which HCA students could benefit. For example:

A successful Winterim needs to provide a variety of choices for students, and parental involvement is crucial to make this happen. Many parents and friends of HCA have skills and expertise from which HCA students could benefit. For example:
Engineering, Finance, Law, Medicine, Programming, Website Design, Digital Imaging, Video Production, Nutrition, Fitness, Musical Production, Art, Interior Design, Construction, Small Engine Repair, Culinary Arts, Horticulture, American Sign Language, CPR Certification, etc.
The possibilities are endless. We already have some classes covering topics in website design, Broadway musical production, medicine, science and engineering, art, and social entrepreneurship.
The goal is to have 6-8 options available for each of the time slots. That means Winterim could easily accommodate 40-50 different classes that week.
This initiative is part of a larger effort to encourage HCA students to recognize God’s call on their lives ... a call to use the gifts and talents he has given them to His glory ... by Him, to Him, for Him! In future years, as HCA grows and matures, the Winterim will do so as well to spread over a longer period of time and include local internships as well as service projects. This is sure to be one of the highlights of the school year for HCA students.
