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: 

• The Telling and Retelling of Fables and Fairy Tales 
• Phonics 
• Poetry Memorization and Recitation 
• Dictation and Copying 
• Rigorous Grammar Curriculum 

Our intense focus on writing, grammar, vocabulary, and the study of Latin lead to above grade-level achievement. Our students tend to be enthusiastic about reading original texts and great novels simply because they are accustomed to it.


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.
