Grammar School

K-5th Grade

A child’s mind is like a sponge…

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.

What Parents Are Saying…

“The Classical Academy is unmatched academically and I continue to be so impressed and pleased with all that our son is learning! He not only has more challenging and appropriate academics, but also has so much more free time to dive into enrichment activities that satisfy his deep curiosity to learn!”

“The university-model has been a blessing. It took the guesswork out of curriculum for us, a very intimidating part of traditional homeschool for me.”

“We are pleased to see first-hand how well the grades and subjects are vertically and horizontally aligned throughout the school, with all subjects taught in a developmentally appropriate way.”

“The teachers, headmaster, and other parents are so supportive. I no longer feel alone in my quest for a classical Christian education for my child. I still can’t believe what God has done so far with this school, and I am looking forward to all of the good things to come.”

“The Classical Academy is a diamond in the rough of school cultural norms. It’s intentionality and clarity of focus and vision is what sets it apart even from other classical or Christian schools around it. “
