Woodworking

Hand tools, power tools, joinery, and finishing — projects that end with something useful set on the table.

Woodworking is taught in grade 9 through grade 12. Each year below is a complete course in its own right, with its own units, its own quizzes, and its own downloads.

This is a self-paced elective. It sits outside the daily schedule, so a family can take it over a summer, stretch it across a year, or skip it without unsettling anything else.
