We provide a recommendation list for parents of various math curriculums that are designed for distinct learning styles, from which the parents choose. Some include Primary Math 2022 (formerly Singapore Math), The Good and the Beautiful, Math with Confidence and Math-U-See. Students take a placement test upon enrollment to determine the group best suited for their aptitude, and on CULTIVATE days, we spend our math period playing games with plenty of manipulatives to reinforce the foundational concepts of numeric and quantitative logic. Through math games and simulated real-world scenarios that reinforce commerce skills, math becomes fun and applicable, and students gain mastery and fluency. It is game-based for 4th grade and lower, but our older students receive math tutoring on CULTIVATE days, working through their individual textbook.

Students learn the fundamentals of the English language, how it functions phonetically, leading to reading and comprehension, understanding vocabulary and grammar, and eventually mastering the art of writing/composition. We adhere to the Orton-Gillingham approach presented in the All About Reading program for younger students. For the upper grades, we implement the methodologies of Fix It! Grammar from IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing). All students are exposed to rich, classical literature and poetry that emphasizes strong character development and important moral themes. Older students participate in literature discussions, complete comprehension and vocabulary studies, and have sequential writing assignments.

We believe in promoting a strong, healthy patriotism for our American heritage, passing down the great traditions of Western Civilization. We emphasize the blessing of a democracy, and our agency and duty as citizens, adhering to the values of Constitution. Every three years, we cycle through periods of Ancient World history, Medieval Ages, and Early American history and, utilizing The Story of the World (Susan Wise Bauer) and a variety of vibrant literature through living books, much of which comes recommended by Beautiful Feet Publishers. Family-style is the best!

Exploring God’s world is endlessly intriguing! Younger students embark on gentle, Charlotte-Mason-style lessons through Science for Little Hearts and Hands (TGTB) , covering seasonal subjects like animals, trees and plants, weather, moon phases, rocks, biomes, etc. Every three years, students 2nd grade and older cycle through the units of astronomy, geology, botany, human anatomy, zoology and meteorology (one unit per semester). We delve into the content using Apologia science curriculum, incorporating hands-on experiments, nature journaling and quality short videos, creating space for wonder and investigation. Many of our monthly fieldtrips are relevant to our science topics. We teach through the Biblical lens of a six-day Creation, and we strive to keep both science and history family-style, where all siblings are learning about the same topics simultaneously, but at different depths.

We believe that the beauty of the world is most appreciated, expressed and experienced through the visual arts and the performance arts, specifically ensemble music-making and singing. We strive to expose students to a wide variety of styles and mediums where which they express themselves and learn about others interpretations of the world. Our wonderful art teacher, Victoria King, also incorporates watercolor nature journaling with our students. Additionally, we provide a few performance opportunities for students to develop stage confidence while they grace their audience with musical artistry. Our enthusiastic Spanish teacher gives the students weekly instruction in conversational foreign language.
