6th, 7th, & 8th Grade

Language Arts: This class will provide the student with an intensive course of study into grammar, literary elements, essay composition, creative writing, and reading.  Class begins each day with grammar exercises.  This is followed by writing exercises and practice.  The class finishes with reading comprehension applications.

Math: In math, students are grouped by ability.  A course of study ranging from numerical operations to statistics is followed.  Students must show proficiency with each idea before they are allowed to move on to the next lesson.  In order to gauge student progress, weekly quizzes are given.  Furthermore, end of chapter tests should be anticipated.  Not only are students required to know concepts, they should also be prepared to study math related vocabulary.  Math is taught through direct instruction, practice problems, white-board problems, word problems, and games where possible.

About Tristan Holechek

My name is Tristan Holechek, and I teach the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades for Apt Academy.  I grew up in Molalla, Oregon, graduating from Molalla High School in 1993.  Following high school, I attended Oregon State University where I majored in agricultural business management.  After obtaining my Bachelor of Science, I did not feel like the corporate world was for me.  Therefore, I went back to Oregon State University and completed a master’s degree in education.  

Apt Academy has been a wonderful opportunity, and I wholeheartedly believe in our mission of providing a Christian based education to our students.
