The Grammar Level

School of Grammar

In the early grades, students enjoy reciting, memorizing facts, and demonstrating what they know. The curriculum and teaching methods utilized during the grammar stage play to the students’ natural abilities and interests, equipping them with the rules and basic facts of each academic discipline. The Grammar school curriculum builds the foundation and focuses on the “building blocks” necessary for future development.
