Paideia’s classical approach to family-directed education begins with our youngest students. At the introductory level we focus heavily on reading and writing, and integrate opportunities for comprehension, handwriting, and reading into every subject. We use a phonics-based curriculum to teach our beginning readers. During Bible time we learn Scripture verses, act out scenes, and create various art projects. All grammar level students memorize Latin words and their meanings, as well as Latin prayers and hymns. Latin is a foundational language and youngsters learn it easily; our novice scholars love Latin.

In history we discover the advancement of Western Civilization. We study the roots of Christianity through historic fiction, original source documents and the Scriptures. The emergence of the Christian church and the spread of the gospel throughout all of Europe and the known world are studied through exploration, art, music and architecture. Children totally immerse in the study of history; even our art projects coincide with the civilizations we are studying. Science introduces general subjects such as volcanoes, plant and animal life, the human body, learning about famous Christian scientists and many more exciting topics. In Physical Education, children learn different sports and exercise techniques such as sit-ups, push-ups, and jogging. Grammar Level coursework  is divided by subject, so each student can continue classical education at home.
