Pre-Kindergarten - Designed for 3-4 year old students, our youngest members will meet for 2 1/2 hours each Monday and Wednesday morning. We will explore and will be creative through play, reading, learning, and crafts! Our goal in preschool is not necessarily to get students ahead of their peers with reading and math. In the classical model of education, the goal is to create 'wonder' at God's creation and to entice/invite students to learn. Parents with Pre-K - 3rd graders are the PRIMARY educators in reading and math since students advance in these skills at different ages.
Kindergarten - Our five year old students will attend Kindergarten all days on Mondays and Wednesdays. We will have just one or two teachers for this class and students will be introduced to science, history, counting, numbers, reading and MORE! Again, parents will spearhead the reading and math instruction at home and will be supported by activities in the classroom
1st Grade and 2nd Grades - Just as with Kindergarten, we have only one or two teachers work with this grade. Students will be exposed to history, science, math skills and will pursue writing skills, art skills, music and MORE! Parents will continue to work with children at home as they learn reading and math. However, in 1st grade, we do begin formal instruction in math so that students are better prepared for the 3rd grade math class.
3rd-8th Grades - Students will have multiple instructors and will have classes in Latin, Grammar/Writing, History, Science, and Math. 3rd-5th graders will also have art, music and physical education components. One highlight of this cooperative is that families (and K-6 in the cooperative) will learn history together each year. Therefore, each year will highlight a particular historical period, allowing families to create projects together, read together and take field trips together! The history schedule for 3rd-6th is below:
3rd Grade - Ancients - Egypt and Mesopotamia
4th Grade - Ancients - Greek and Roman
5th Grade - Middle Ages
6th Grade - Renaissance and Explorers
7th Grade - Explorers and Modern Times
8th Grade - American History
9th-12th Grades - In addition to the 'Great Books' program, there will be math, science, logic and Latin offered. High school seniors will also complete a Senior Thesis Project. The history schedule for high school is as follows:
9th Grade - Ancients
10th Grade - Medieval and Renaissance
11th and 12th Grades - Modern History & American Government
