Elementary Curriculum

In grades K-6 (the Grammar Stage) students are provided with the necessary tools and facts of learning in a variety of subjects such as history, science, Latin, math, grammar, and reading. The goal is to equip students with the foundational building blocks of education while their minds are most receptive to memorization and observation.

Literature

Elementary Literature List

Each grade is responsible to read through at least ten of the books on its literature list each year. In second through sixth grades the list has been broken into the following three sections to provide clarity and accountability:

CORE BOOKS: These are books that each student will read through over the course of the year.

AUXILIARY BOOKS: This is a list of pre-approved books that a teacher may choose from in order to complete the required ten books per year. This list allows for some flexibility in challenging students with particular strengths or weaknesses.

CHALLENGE BOOKS: This is simply a list of good books for the avid reader to attack once his classroom reading is complete. These books can also be used to provide structure and quality for activities such as read-a-thons, and book-drives.
