Language arts
Our Language Arts curriculum encourages a love for the beautiful expression of the spoken and written word, for only in a love affair with beauty will students passionately seek to find and elegantly express truth. That love affair is ignited, in primary and middle school, when teachers model the structure and elegance of the English language. We“model” such expression in a number of ways:
Building A Foundation: Language, Phonemic Awareness, Spelling and Grammar.
The Logic of English integrates phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, spelling, and grammar. There is also a Greek and Latin root component.
