Program Description

Students will begin the day with an opening devotion and continue with the following classes:

Catechesis & Recitation – Following the Catechesis curriculum from Wittenberg Academy, this class will include a daily reading from the Bible and will focus on learning and reviewing hymns, psalms, Bible verses, and Catechism selections. Using music and repetition, students will also memorize facts related to other academic subject areas.

Grammar/Spelling – Using the Fix it! Grammar curriculum, students will strengthen their English grammar skills through daily editing practice and copy work. 

Students will also be required to learn weekly spelling words, corresponding with the phonics and spelling rules presented in their grade-level classical curriculum.

Composition – This class will develop students’ writing skills, using the Structure and Style approach from Andrew Pudewa’s Institute for Excellence in Writing curriculum.

History/Geography – Using the Veritas Press history curriculum, students will pursue a chronological study of world history with a focus on the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Reformation. Students will use colorful and informative history cards to learn about 32 different events from this period of history, as they continually review a timeline memory song about the events. Additionally, students will read supplemental books, complete fun projects, and make use of a timeline and maps of the region.

At the Grammar Level, there is a great emphasis on memorizing names, dates, places, and events, which will help students gain a valuable tool for understanding how God is working today and what He has done during many past events.

Mathematics – Through games, timed worksheets, and math manipulatives, students will practice primary math skills including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percents, integers, and geometry. This class is meant to reinforce the student’s mathematics program at home.

Latin – Using the Latin for Children curriculum, students will be trained in grammar, vocabulary, and English derivatives in a lively, interactive way that is perfectly suited to students in the grammar stage.

Literature – Students will be reading several books from the Memoria Press Sixth Grade Literature program, in addition to some poetry selections. Class time will involve reading aloud selections from the books, class discussions, and activities.
