Welcome!
Our school is proud to be home to the Millard Core Knowledge Program! This program is one of the options for parents to choose an alternate curriculum. Designated a Core Knowledge School of Distinction in 2024, our purpose is to ensure high academic growth and success by providing a solid educational foundation for the student in a structured, teacher-directed setting through:
E.D. Hirsch Core Knowledge curriculum sequence
Spalding Method of intensive phonics
Shurley Grammar
Open Court Reading
Poetry
Millard is proud to offer the Core Knowledge program at two elementary schools. The Millard Core Knowledge program provides cultural literacy through a sequential and challenging curriculum rooted in the E.D. Hirsch Core Knowledge Sequence and philosophy. The Core Knowledge Sequence consists of a body of widely used knowledge- based curriculum, coherently and sequentially designed. The program develops rich reading and writing skills through the use of the Spalding Method, Shurley English, and phonics. This spiral also includes history and geography, science and health, music, visual arts, and language arts (poetry, idioms, reading, writing, and grammar). The teacher-directed environment establishes high expectations through whole-group learning and fosters analytical thinking. Students are challenged through an in-depth and swiftly-paced curriculum which develops higher-level thinking skills and establishes a solid foundation to build.
