Grammar (K-6th Grade)
Grammar is the first stage of the Trivium. This elementary stage takes advantage of young children’s natural aptitude for absorbing information through memorization, songs, chants, and rhymes. Through these methods, we take care to impart a solid foundation in all core subjects like reading, math, and history, as well as:
Art
Beginning in kindergarten, students participate in Art Studio. Our art instructor, a master’s level artist herself, emphasizes portraiture, line, and perspective and exposes students to a variety of art mediums. All students take Art through graduation.
Physical Education
Beginning in kindergarten, students participate in regular physical education.
Music
Beginning in kindergarten, students participate in our music program consisting of choir, rhythm practice, composer study, and more.
Latin
Beginning in 3rd grade, students begin learning the Latin language. They will take this through the 8th grade.
Other Elementary Experiences
4th graders study Vikings and get to make their very own Viking Longships!
Our older students pair up with our youngest elementary students as weekly reading buddies.
6th graders do an in-depth research assignment on the countries of the world. As part of their study, students bring in items that represent the culture of their country
Field trips give our elementary students hands-on guided experience in our community.
Hands-on experiments like this volcano are an interactive way of learning science concepts.
Elementary students study history units that often culminate in a fun celebration that includes families. This is third grade Greek Feast.
