After returning from Christmas break, Bethany High School students: all freshmen, sophomores and juniors have the opportunity to engage, learn and participate in a course of their choice. This year Bethany offered six different J-term courses these include: Civil Rights, Appalachian Mountains, Ukelele choir, baseball, biking, Koinonia Farm, and Disney World. This year we had groups traveling to a variety of places as far away as Texas and even Florida! J-term is a two week program, the first week primarily classes usually take place on campus, but then involves traveling the second week. Each year the courses slightly differ, location, coordinators leading the groups, etc. this year Disney World was course that was offered and added to Bethany course listings.
Below you can check out the photos, that highlight glimpses of this year’s J- term 2016 courses!
