First - Third Grade (6-9 Years)
Core/Humanities/Literature:
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.

Geography/Culture (Social Studies):
On Mission is a curriculum that engages children preschool through upper elementary with a cultural feast for their minds and hearts. Through beautiful images, living books, engaging activities, simple handicrafts, hands-on projects, stimulating challenges, interesting stories, and wise discipleship, our children are introduced to countries and cultures in a gentle and classical way. This program offers so much content that it works as a whole-family social studies for all elementary students. New Student Notebooks (available for Ukraine, Greece, Canada and later, Madagascar and Afghanistan) make implementation that much easier!
