Grammar School students (K-6) have a unique ability to capture in their minds amazing amounts of information. The cliche says their minds are like sponges. Has your child ever asked you to read a particular book over and over and over? It is because their neurons are creating networks to connect thoughts. These superhighways of information are never lost!
I bet you can still remember silly ditties from your grade school days. For that reason, you will find kids in our grammar school singing about grammar and clapping a beat as they recite a historical time line.
Cornerstone Academy is unique in its approach to teaching students. We group in the morning for math and language in ability groups rather than age groups. Each child is given the opportunity to excel at their own pace in subjects like reading, grammar, spelling and math.
Following the classical model, each grade focuses on a specific historical time period. Since our brains learn best when things make sense and connect, all other subjects are integrated into the historical studies. For example, when a first grader is learning about Ancient Egypt, they read about the biblical stories of that time and study the life cycle of plants just as the Egyptians discovered the patterns of growth through irrigation.
