Preschool-

Preschool is a simple, easy-to-implement curriculum for children 2-4 years, which steers away from focusing on typical academics and elevates the cultivation of virtue, good habits, and knowledge of God above all else. The FREE Preschool Teacher's Guide includes a complete explanation of philosophy and strategy, 26-letter themed units with amazing children's books (new and classic), memory recitations for math, science, character, catechism, scripture, manner and hygiene, and more. Download the FREE Teacher's Guide HERE to explore. You'll also find a book list linked in that listing.  In addition to the Teacher's Guide, we offer a Handicraft & Activity Guide that adds depth, schedules, and expansions to the simplified Teacher's Guide. 

Kindergarten & 1st Grade-

Core/Humanities-

Gentle + Classical Primer is a beautiful and gentle introduction into the formal school years that places goodness, truth, and beauty above rigor and "grade level" while still preparing your child for their future education. Wonder tales, rhymes, art, music, scripture, character virtues, poetry, and simple recitations guide our week. (You will need to add your full, formal math and phonics instruction when your child is ready for those.)

You can find the scope and sequence and book list for Primer HERE.

Sequence 1 is the "next step" for any student who has completed our Primer program. Sequence 1 takes existing materials - like Morning Virtues and On Mission (described below) - and adapts and/or expands that material, adding in additional scheduling grids, a Student Notebook, and memory statement cards along with further Bible and Theology studies, grammar, spelling rules, and history! In Sequence 1, we learn the geography of the United States alongside a survey of European and American history, 1450-1815.
