While much of the learning was generalised, there were some cohesive themes or subjects that were both planned and that came together organically over the course of the year. Elijah was given the following credits for this school year: 1.0 -- English: Historical Linguistics Problems 1.0 -- Maths: Math Analogies and Logic 1.0 -- Science: Circuitry & Redstone Engineering 1.0 -- Social Studies: World History of Culture, Money, & Economies 1.0 -- Music: Music Appreciation & Compositional Arrangements 0.5 -- Home Economics: General Cooking & Baking .25 -- Health, Safety, & Physical Education -- 0.25 credit 0.5 -- Elective: Game Theory & Analysis 6.25 -- Total Credits English: Historical Linguistic Problems Elijah spent considerable time study
