The Grammar Stage

Grades K-6

Students in grades K-6 develop a natural love of learning by delighting in reading aloud classic children’s literature, mastering arithmetic, singing songs and chants and memorizing rhymes to learn phonics and grammar, developing penmanship and composition skills, and introducing the study of Latin in third grade through sacred Latin choir. They develop an appreciation of what has come before by a timeline based study of history from creation to the modern era. They learn to create beautiful art and music. All of these subjects are taught with a purposeful integration across subjects which allows students to make connections between subjects and to use all of their skills in each. They develop courtesy and character, memorize Bible verses, and learn to make biblical connections woven across all subjects that show God’s hand in all things.
