Grade 1
Heritage Studies: Your student will learn about Plymouth Plantation, trading, the practices and culture of Native Americans, and homes and families of the time from a biblical view.
Science: Start your student on the path of scientific inquiry with an introduction to the senses, heat, sound, animals, and heavenly bodies—presenting God as the Creator of all things.
Grade 2
Heritage Studies: Take your student back to the founding of the United States—from Jamestown through the War of Independence—while explaining Colonial Era farming, shop keeping, clothing, and kings and queens.
English 2: Your student will learn to plan, draft, revise, proofread, and publish many types of writing: personal narrative, descriptive paragraph, letter, book report, guided research report and more.
Science: Present God’s earth and His creation clearly as your student studies bones, plants, the shape and movement of the earth, natural forces, and shorelines.
Grade 3
Heritage Studies: Lead your student through the growing pains of the new nation from the Constitutional Convention through the Civil War and the westward expansion.
English 3: Your student will learn to plan, draft revise, proofread, and publish many types of writing: instructions, a letter, a book report, a persuasive essay, a research report and more.
Science: Direct your student’s natural curiosity by helping him describe what God has created. Through studies of classification of animal, the solar system, skin, birds, mass, photosynthesis, and weight, your student will increase his knowledge of the world God made.
Spelling: Teach your student to apply more generalizations to word families and get extensive practice in adding suffixes. Expanded dictionary skills, guided journal entries and Bible word studies make third-grade spelling interesting.
Grade 4
Heritage Studies: Bring to life great movements and events in American history from the late 1700’s through the early 1900’s. The lessons examine immigration, evangelists, missionaries, inventions, the industrial revolution, the Boer War, and the Boxer Uprising.
English 4: Teach grammar and develop lifelong writing skills as students plan, draft, revise, proofread, and publish all types of writing, including a personal narrative, a business letter, a persuasive essay, a compare-contrast essay, a tall tale, and a research report.
Science: Explain God’s ordered world to your student through the study of the moon, light, electricity, area and volume, simple machines, digestion, animal defenses, trees, erosion, and simple classification of insects.
Spelling: Focus on difficult spelling patterns and more advanced dictionary skills. A Bible word study includes the names of the books of the Bible as examples.
Grade 5
Heritage Studies: Help your student acquire a foundational understanding of the roots of contemporary United States struggles and the blossoming of American enterprise from the early 1900’s to the final years of the century.
English 5: Our guided approach helps the teacher use the Writing Process to model different types of writing. This balanced program also provides instructions in study skills, research skills, listening skills, and speaking skills.
Reading: Help your student strengthen his reading and critical-thinking skills as he studies excerpts from classical literature and character-building stories.
Spelling: Help your student learn pairs of related words as well as the names of the fifty states. A dictionary game with a sports theme will increase his interest.
Science: Guide your student in learning about minerals and rocks, fossils, matter and heat, sound and light, weather, biomes, ecosystems, and the respiratory and circulatory system. The student develops science process skills by participation in hands-on activities and projects.
