A Progression of Excellence
Our curriculum is intentionally scaffolded to ensure that every student builds the stamina and skills necessary for success in high school and beyond:
Grades K-2
Grades K-2
We prioritize systematic, explicit phonics instruction to ensure every student 'cracks the code' of reading. By bridging foundational skills with immersive storytelling, we empower children to transition from decodable success to a lifelong love of literature.
Grades 3-5
Grades 3-5
Students transition into a knowledge-rich curriculum where they engage in deep character studies, historical fiction, and research-based argument essays. During this phase, learners move beyond basic plot to analyze complex themes and motivations, utilizing structured frameworks to organize sophisticated thoughts. Instruction shifts to ensure students have the decoding stamina to bridge from foundational literacy to advanced analytical thinking.
Grades 6-8
Grades 6-8
Our middle school literacy program transitions students from analytical readers to sophisticated creators. We move from mastering the mechanics of genre in 6th grade to exploring the depths of poetics in 7th, culminating in an 8th-grade year centered on synthesis, where students evaluate complex societal themes and refine their unique authorial voice. This intentional scaffolding from Kindergarten through Grade 8 ensures that every student is equipped with the critical thinking and expressive communication skills necessary for success in high school and beyond.
