CURRICULUM LINKS
Click the curriculum name for a link to learn more about each curriculum. Our goal is to conduct as many hands-on and/or interactive classroom experiences for our students as possible. To that end, there will be some work at home.
Elementary: Science will pre-read the science text at home before class, so you only need one textbook per family unless you want your children to each have a copy in their class. History will pre-read the text at home before class, so you only need one textbook per family unless you want your children to each have a copy in class. Writing will be done within the history class with some work being completed at home, and materials will be provided to each family. Grammar and literature work will be done both in class and at home. All classes may have some projects or presentations to work on at home.
Middle School: In order to have more discussions and activities in class, there will be work at home to be prepared for class. Grammar will be done both in class and at home. Literature will be read at home in preparation for class activities and discussions. Writing will be done within the history class with some work being completed at home, and materials will be provided to each family. Each student should have a text book for history and science to complete pre-reading and to bring to class to reference for discussions. If that is cost-prohibitive, please speak to the teacher about using a single family copy. All classes may have some projects or presentations to work on at home.
