Arma Dei Academy participates in the Rocky Mountain Classical Christian Schools Speech Meet each year in order to provide a platform for students to develop rhetoric skills from an early age. This opportunity makes use of classical educational pedagogy where students are challenged to develop the skills of memorization, public speaking, and social grace. We hold classroom speech meets for first through eighth grades. Students may choose from a variety of categories – Bible memory, poetry, dramatic interpretation, or patriotic recitation. The top three students (top four for classes with two sections) will compete in the regional competition with Augustine Classical Academy…

Arma Dei purposefully selects our curriculum and pursues a chronological study of history. It is our desire for each student to not only know the who, what, where, when and why of events, but that they are able to place themselves on God's timeline and connect and relate the events to their lives.Each Grammar classroom brings to life their historical time period, wears costumes of the period, participates in hands-on activities, gives presentations, and shares what they have learned with the school community. Third-grade students study Ancient Greece & Rome and held their festival on Wednesday afternoon.

The second-grade students study Ancient Egypt and last month went on a mock archeological dig in the sands of the Arma Dei desert. Six-grade students assisted them in cracking hieroglyphic clues which led to the discovery of the long lost mummy Ozymandias.
