Our
Curriculum

Our rigorous, classical education program, with a Charlotte Mason influence, emphasizes the cultivation of wisdom, virtue, critical thinking, and the use of great books that kindle the imagination. 

An Advanced & Vast Curriculum

We offer a comprehensive and rich curriculum that includes Art, Music, Spanish (K-2), Latin (grades 3-8), Logic (starting in 6th) and Physical Education (PE). It is designed to foster intellectual growth and develop scholars’ ability to think independently and critically as we educate the whole child.

Beginning in kindergarten, scholars hear Classic tales read aloud as the teacher models fluency and storytelling.

Beginning in second grade, scholars begin reading literature that aligns with their historical timelines.

All K-8 scholars memorize and recite monthly poems or historical speeches.

Our math program is advanced with kindergarten scholars beginning with grade 1 Math and continuing a grade level ahead until taking Algebra 1 as eighth graders.

Scholars lead discussions, participate in Socratic Circles, study Latin, become strong orators in debate class, and learn the art of reasoning and argument through the study of Logic.
