An excerpt from a story. (An excersise on showing what happens)
The girl timidly opens the door. Standing in the doorway is an old hag. An odorous stench wafts from the old woman, slightly resembling sour milk. The old lady explains in a scratchy voice that she is selling apples. A small voice in the girl’s head tells her not to

The Founding Fathers
(20-line poem for final poetry assignment) Believe it or not America once was not a tight knot. Old king George once was kind, Until he went all out of his mind. He taxed the people, He passed unfair laws. He did it all without a cause. Then a small

Tests for Students Under Age 12
Four separate levels of testing have been developed for the Junior Class students.
(Note: Since students are on different levels of learning, some age groups will obviously overlap.)
- Beginner test (approximate student ages: 5-6)
- Intermediate test (approximate student ages: 6-8)
- Junior Elementary test (approximate student ages: 8-10)
- Advanced Elementary test (approximate student ages: 10-12)
Tests for Students Age 12 & Older
The Senior Class Students (over age 12) take high school diagnostic exams from the National Testing Center ™ (NTC). This diagnostic testing is based on levels consistent with the national GED and ACT.
The diagnostic tests cover 22 subjects, and because they are administered every 3 months, student progress can be monitored and adjusted accordingly throughout the school year.
After the tests have been corrected, parents keep the score sheets so they can compare and monitor their student’s progress.
Anyone may use the Kimber Academy testing. It is not limited to the Academies alone.
To order tests for your students, contact the Testing Center by clicking here.
The tests will be corrected and analyzed at the NTC and returned within a week.
The following schedule is according to Mountain Time, so plan accordingly.

First Time Connection
You will need to create a free account at Zoom.us before you can join the class. If you are logging into the Junior and Senior classes at the same time, you will need to create a second account, as Zoom will not allow you to be on multiple meetings with one account.
Audio
Video
If you cannot see us, you may have slow internet. You can do a speed test to see if you have enough speed. Typically you want to have at least 2-3 mbs upload and download speeds for a clear and steady picture, though more is always better.
If we cannot see you, you may need to plug in your webcam. If it is already plugged in, turn it on with the camera button in the bottom left of your screen. Move your mouse (desktop) or tap the screen (mobile) to view your Zoom meeting controls.
