About Course

✔ A gentle classical foundation: IEW Structure and Style Writing · Logic and Mysteries · Geography and Hands-on Art · Living-Book Readers
Parent involvement: A parent should be available in the home during class, though not necessarily seated right beside your student, as children at this level are growing more independent with technology.

See our 2026–2027 Academic Calendar for all important dates.
