secular online writing class??

[HeatherL]

I am looking for an online writing class for my will be 5th grader for next year.  Most I am finding are Christian based and since we are Jewish I'm concerned topics may not follow what my son learns at home.  

 

I was excited about the WLMA intro to expository writing, but we are in pacific time and over the summer the class is either at 6am or 7am our time and about the same on the days that work for us next school year :(  

 

I'm thinking about trying the writing component in addition to the literature class at the center for lit, but there are no writing class samples for the 5th grade level  (only higher classes), so I'm not sure what to expect.  

 

Does anyone else have any other ideas?  I would not be totally against a Christian group, but only if Christian content is not heavily used in the course.  (such as virtual homeschool gorup which says which classes have a strong Christian element to them).

 

Thank you!

What about the delayed option for the WTMA class?

I am thinking of trying this over the summer for my current 5th grader:

I've read a few good reviews here, and I liked the sample on the website.

I am wandering into murky territory here b/c I am not familiar with their online classes, but I think BraveWriter might have some......

I suspect she means WTMA= Well Trained Mind Academy

My son is taking the expository writing class 1 and will take level 2 next year. It has been excellent.

Yes, it was a typo.  I meant WTMA :)

My 10th grader used Write Guide last year and it was very positive to have a one-on-one writing coach.  They are very good about asking you as a parent what your goals are.  I bet if you asked them to only use secular subjects they would accommodate that with no problem.  I just sent them an email about signing up my 6th & 5th grader.
