Grammar School K-5th
GRAMMAR STAGE
A child’s mind is like a sponge that can quickly and easily retain information. In the Grammar Stage, we focus primarily on mastering the facts of arithmetic, basic science, literature, scripture memory, writing, and language to build a solid foundation. In 3rd through 6th grades, students also learn the basics of Latin grammar, vocabulary, and translation through song, illustration, and composition.
