This schedule reflects CTLA’s mission to combine academic excellence with faith-based instruction, offering a holistic approach to student development.

History - Revolution to Restoration
The Reformation set the stage for a perfect storm of change, paving the way for the American Revolution and the birth of a new nation—America. This inspired Democratic Republic created the ideal environment for the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to take root and flourish.
In this course, we will begin with Columbus' discovery of America and explore the Pilgrims’ journey and the significance of the Mayflower Compact. We will bring history to life by reenacting the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. Finally, we will delve into life in colonial America and examine the inspired creation of the U.S. Constitution. ~ taught by Sister Tresta Neil

The Universe Model
The simplest definition of science is the study of truth. Since God knows all truth—He is omniscient—this makes Him the greatest scientist of all. In this course, we will focus on the early days of Creation, exploring the physical sciences of physics, chemistry, and astronomy. Our journey begins with the importance of measurement, including the Length Model, Mass-Weight Model, Time Model, Energy-Matter Model, and the study of light. As we progress, we hope to dive deeper into topics such as water, air, chemistry, and meteors, uncovering the divine design behind the natural world. ~ taught by Sister Tresta Neil

Colonial Literature
Step back into early American history through the powerful words and stories that shaped a nation. In this course, students will explore the literature of the Colonial and Revolutionary periods, gaining insight into the values, struggles, and faith of early Americans. Through a variety of genres—including biography, drama, poetry, and scripture—we’ll discover how literature helped form both personal character and national identity.
Planned Readings:
- Biography: The Life of George Washington by Mason Locke Weems
- Drama: Columbus: A Tragedy by Thomas Godfrey (1794)
- Poetry: Selected poems by Anne Bradstreet and Phillis Wheatley
- Classic: The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan
- Scripture: Selected passages from the Bible that inspired the Founding Fathers
- National Reading: Common Sense by Thomas Paine
Together, we’ll analyze these works for literary merit, historical context, and spiritual insight, connecting the past to the present through the written word. ~ taught by Sister Tresta Neil

Symbolic Math
Math is the language God used to create the universe. It powerfully testifies of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Just like language, math is made up of many parts. In this course, we will explore each of these elements—numbers, shapes, numeration, measurement, and operations—and examine how they connect to the bigger picture of God’s design.
We encourage you to continue working through your own math workbooks throughout the year and bring your questions to class for discussion and support.~ taught by Sister Tresta Neil

Emulate Christ (formerly Faith Works by Words)
This course is for those who dare to take John 14:12 seriously:
“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do…”
This isn’t a class for spectators. It’s for seekers—those ready to move from admiring Christ to becoming like Him.
We don’t just study doctrine—we walk in it.
We don’t just talk of light—we grow in it.
We don’t just adore Christ—we emulate Him.
By student request, our journey continues under a new name: Emulate Christ—a call to reflect His love, carry His power, and do His works with compassion and clarity.
If you’re ready to:
• Wrestle with real questions
• Live by every word from God
• Walk boldly, meekly, and joyfully in the Spirit
…then this class is your calling.
Taught by Brother Kent Nielsen, A fellow disciple, grateful guide, and co-seeker of doing Greater Works

Journey Through the Arts
Words, Music, and Art are amazing things and can be put together in so many ways. We will be studying the types of literature and the men and women who put these words together, as well as the music development from pre-Baroque through the modern day. This will include types and elements of music, composers, and the makeup of the orchestra. I think music is a miracle because 12 keys on a piano can combine in infinite ways. We will also be studying the major changes in art from the Colonial to the modern age. The various forms, principles, and elements of art will be discussed and studied with the view of appreciating the great talents God has given the artists. The major goal will be to help you find joy in art, whether participating in or viewing. ~Taught by Sister Becky Williams

Economics

Physical Health
Our bodies are sacred gifts from God, and one way He invites us to care for them is through physical movement and exercise. In this class, we will focus on building stability, mobility, and strength to improve daily function and overall fitness. As we develop consistent exercise habits, we can experience greater health, feel the Spirit more fully, and be better prepared to serve others and fulfill our divine potential. ~ taught by Sister Suzanne

Herbal Remedies
Students will learn Gospel Principles by learning about God’s medicinal plants and stones, empowering them to heal with God’s creations. They will also understand how our bodies respond to God’s plants and stones. We will be learning a new remedy every few weeks. ~ taught by Sister Jennifer Hahn

Visioneering
Learn leadership skills by following the story of Nehemiah ~ taught by Sister Lisa Frampton
Foreign Language

American Sign Language
Let's sign, laugh, and learn together in ASL! This year is all about fun and building confidence, no matter your current signing level. We'll kick off with the awesome basics, then dive into making real conversations flow. Plus, get ready to express yourself by signing scriptures, catchy songs, heartfelt poems, and so much more! It's going to be a blast! ~ taught by Sister Kjiersten Reynolds

Hebrew
Unlock the secrets of the Old Testament by diving into the original Hebrew! Understanding Hebrew words opens up a whole new world of meaning in the scriptures. Curious to learn how to read Hebrew? Excited to grasp the deeper meanings behind biblical words? Then join this class! By the end of the year, you'll be able to read and understand the 100 most commonly used words in the Bible and even write in the beautiful Hebrew script. Let's make this ancient language come alive together! ~ taught by Brother Thom Neil

Spanish
Learning Spanish can be a blast, especially when you realize how much you already know! Even though English is a Germanic language, about half of it comes from Latin. And guess what? Spanish is like modern-day Latin! That means you can spot Latin-based words in English, tweak them a bit, and voilà—you’ve got about 3,000 Spanish words right there. With this trick, you’ll be chatting away in Spanish without needing to constantly check your notebook or phone. Let’s dive in and see how easy it is to understand and speak Spanish! ~ taught by Brother Thom Neil

Infinite Atonement
Want to learn more or gain a larger understanding of the atonement of Jesus Christ? Let's read the book, "Infinite Atonement" by Tad A. Callister, together.
Jesus Christ's Atonement is infinite - without an end. It was also infinite in that all humankind would be saved from never-ending death. It was infinite in terms of His immense suffering. It was infinite in time, putting an end to the preceding prototype of animal sacrifice. Robert L. Millet said, "The Atonement is the central act of human history, the pivotal point in all time, the doctrine of doctrines. Everything we do and everything we teach should somehow be anchored to the Atonement."
~ taught by Sister Tresta Neil

Students will learn how God’s hand guided the formation of a nation where religious freedom could flourish, leading to the restoration of truth in the latter days.
Through readings, discussions, and reflective projects, students will gain a deeper appreciation for both American history and the unfolding of God’s latter-day work. ~ taught by Sister Tresta Neil

The Universe Model
The short definition of science is the study of truth, God knows all truth, He is omniscience (all truth), which makes him the greatest scientist ever.
