What is Sunshine Hill Academy (S.H.A.)?
Sunshine Hill Academy is an initiative started by the Duncannon Church of God to offer educational opportunities to the people of the Duncannon area and beyond.
What educational opportunities are offered?
Sunshine Hill Academy is comprised of three distinct educational schools: Bible, Life Skills, and a quarterly Cultural Series. Each school operates independently of each other, but falls under the umbrella of S.H.A.
Tell me more about the School of the Bible.
Courses offered will focus primarily on equipping students of all ages (16+) with the proper tools to read, understand and interpret the Bible. The end goal is for the student to gain a deeper understanding of the Bible as God’s Word and a deeper relationship with the God of the Bible. While these classes will undoubtedly involve reading, writing and critical thinking, “academia” for its own sake is not the point. Thus, these courses are available to all people, regardless of their educational background.
Classes follow a 13 week semester schedule and will meet weekly at the predetermined day and time at the Duncannon Church of God. Class offerings, days, and times will vary from semester to semester. (Please click on the “Fall ’11 Courses” tab at www.DuncannonChurchofGod.com for classes offered and schedule).
Each class is free of charge, but students are required to purchase their own textbooks.
Tell me more about the School of Life Skills.
Life Skills Classes are opportunities for students to learn about a wide array of “hands-on” skills, trades, and hobbies. From Cooking and Sewing to Personal Finances and Art, these classes will vary each semester.
There is a nominal fee per class, payable to the Duncannon Church of God, in order to cover the costs of materials, etc. Fees will vary depending on the type of class. Please click on the “Current Courses” tab at www.DuncannonChurchofGod.com for class offerings and details.
Tell me more about the Guest Lecturer Series.
Each quarter, Sunshine Hill Academy will invite a guest lecturer to speak on a culturally relevant topic. Speakers and topics will vary from quarter to quarter, but will attempt to clarify current events through the lens of faith.
