Elementary Program

Our elementary program serves kindergarten-5th grade homeschoolers. The two day option (our most popular program) meets Tuesdays AND Wednesdays each week. Our one day option allows for attendance on only Tuesdays OR only Wednesdays throughout the school year. We offer the following subjects on both days along with various additional enrichment classes for each elementary grade.

Bible & Beauty Subject Loop

Each day on site begins with Bible time and a selection of beauty subjects taught on a loop schedule. This time is used to introduce and expose the students to various artists, composers, hymns, poems, memory verses, and Bible lessons throughout the year.

Arithmetic

Math with Confidence is used for kindergarten-3rd grade. Math concepts are introduced and reinforced during on-site days with teacher-led lessons and many opportunities for hands-on learning, math games, and math projects. Written work is mostly completed on days at home when following the recommended weekly lesson plans.

The Math U See Gama and Delta levels are implemented for 4th-5th grade students.

Reading/Language Arts

Students in kindergarten-3rd grade are led through a gentle and natural approach to learning and mastering reading. They move through various phonograms, to sound blending, to word building, and finally to sentence reading using a multisensory approach that builds joy and confidence in their abilities.

Students in 4th-5th grade will utilize Learning Language Arts Through Literature's orange and purple levels using an integrated approach that incorporates spelling, reading, vocabulary, grammar, writing, and phonics.

Science

Grades K-3 enjoy outdoor nature study through exploration, hands-on learning, nature journaling, and more.

Grades 4-5 move into our chronological science program. We will explore the beauty of science and nature through living books, interesting experiments, and exciting hands-on opportunities to encourage a love of God's creation. Students study science in a chronological fashion loosely aligning with the timeline of our history program for a more wholistic approach to learning. The 2026-2027 school year will cover scientific advancements from 1810-1915.

History/Geography

For K-3, history and geography are covered using living books, creative timelines, and engaging projects.

Fourth-fifth graders join our school-wide chronological history cycle which will cover the westward expansion of America through to modern times this school year using a Charlotte Mason approach incorporating living books, creative timelines, and engaging projects. The world history portion is covered in class while American history is covered at home using the provided weekly lesson plans.
