Grammar Stage (K-5)
Wonder begins at the Grammar Stage, where young learners grow in knowledge and faith.
What the Grammar Stage Looks Like
The Grammar Stage is the first step in a classical education, covering kindergarten through 5th grade. At this age, children are naturally curious and eager to memorize facts, patterns, and stories, and we harness that God-given wonder by laying a strong foundation for wisdom and understanding. Through Scripture, literature, history, science, and the arts, students not only gain knowledge but also learn to see the world as God’s creation, full of meaning and purpose.
