Custom-built by professional educational consultants. Every course meets or exceeds state standards, with room to challenge and differentiate for your child. Modules are subject to change based on enrollment.
Our English Language Arts curriculum integrates theme-based units of language arts instruction with the Institute for Excellence in Writing’s (IEW) writing method. Our approach emphasizes building knowledge by teaching lessons through units in history, geography, science, and the arts.
To make the lessons engaging, students work through a central project that extends each lesson and cements their understanding of the material, while engaging with texts through read-alouds, discussions, and independent reading and writing. In each term, students cover one third of a full year’s curriculum, carefully differentiated for each student’s level and grade.
