Open Air Electives is an indoor/ outdoor hybrid drop-off program for K-8th Grade homeschool students featuring Art, PE, and other elective classes as a package deal offered by local businesses in Loudoun County, VA. This program is focused primarily on electives, and families from a variety of backgrounds enjoy our classes. While there is no statement of faith required to participate and all are joyfully welcomed, we also welcome organic faith-based conversations. Our character lessons in PE feature wholesome God-given character traits, and we occasionally have featured a Christian organization for an optional field trip experience.

We are proud to announce that GamePoint Athletics will offer Physical Education and Ms. Heather Dixon will offer Art as the new middle school Base Package at the Purcellville Baptist Church location. Art will be offered from 1:30-2:30 PM, with students moving directly to PE afterward, which will be offered from 2:30-3:30 PM. An additional elective may be added for an optional and additional cost (see below). The base package is priced at $300/student, and includes 8 weeks of classes, all overhead and rental fees associated with running Open Air, as well as access to community-style field trips on Thursdays/ Fridays.
P.E. by GamePoint Athletics
Physical Education offers a variety of enriching activities that focus on teamwork, friendly competition, skill development, and tons of fun! Children will participate in various types of PE games that involve tag, parachute, relays, and strategic invasion games such as Capture the Jewels. Throughout the Fall and Spring, children will also participate in sports units including soccer, flag football, wiffle ball, Omni-kin ball, games with paddles, extreme kickball, nerf dodgeball, and more! Each class, children will learn the value of a specific God-given character trait (such as resilience or courage) and the value it has for their lives. This typically happens in short 5 minute small groups, and throughout the lesson as the children are engaging in the curriculum in fun and interactive ways.
Students may sometimes be combined with Upper Elementary P.E. for specific games requiring large numbers of students.
Supplies: Students will need closed-toe sneakers and a water bottle.
