Grammar Stage

K-5th grade

 

Instruction at the Grammar stage parallels the child’s natural development from ages 5 until 12. During this input phase, students are supplied with beautiful models from literature, music, art, history, Orthodox life, and the natural world in order to nourish their growing souls and minds.  Led by students’ natural wonder and individual curiosities, the Grammar School classrooms are places of discovery and lively discussion-based learning.  Through this engagement and mimetic practices, including memorization of classic poetry and psalms, computation fluency, cursive penmanship, and attentiveness to grammar and phonics, students acquire a knowledge of the structure of language and the world around them.
