Curriculum & Courses

Rooted in the rich tradition of classical education, our program cultivates wisdom, virtue, and a love of truth while embracing the freedom and wonder of the child. Multiple educators have inspired the creation of our curriculum. Inspired by Montessori, our multi-aged classrooms move without the constraint of bells, allowing students to follow deep focus, meaningful work, and natural rhythms of learning. Children engage in hands-on projects that foster independence, collaboration, and joyful discovery. Infused with the beauty of Charlotte Mason’s philosophy, we nurture a sense of awe through nature, living books, and thoughtful observation, inviting students to see learning as both a discipline and a delight. Here, education is not fragmented but carefully cultivated as a lifelong journey of curiosity, character, and wonder.

Courses

Current courses are for upper elementary and middle school ages. The focus for the 2026-2027 school year will be based primarily on 1400-1800, including the Reformation, Scientific Revolution, Age of Reason and Colonial Period. There will also be a focus on Florida History from the native Seminole Tribe to St. Augustine.

The Classical Christian Charlotte Mason philosophy teaches a feast of knowledge. Students will feast on lessons in the Bible, church history, history, literature, science, geography, art, music, Shakespeare, nature journaling and handicrafts.

Early American History & Literature with an emphasis on Florida

This immersive course takes students beyond textbook summaries and into the lives, choices, and lasting impacts of the people who shaped our civilization.

Through carefully selected living books, students connect emotionally and intellectually with key historical events and people. These narrative-driven texts encourage meaningful reflection, making lessons memorable and personally relevant for students at this grade level.

Spanning from indigenous cultures to the early modern era, this course places social studies within a global context, exploring the rise and fall of empires, religious movements, political revolutions, and cultural shifts across the world. Students engage with history through primary sources, mapping activities, and hands-on projects that promote deeper comprehension and interactive learning.

Science

Science in the Scientific Revolution is a multilevel science course that introduces scientific concepts using history as its guide and includes labs for hands-on learning. It covers the scientific works of natural philosophers during the 1500-1600s. Because the course covers science as it was developed, it discusses a wide range of topics including astronomy, human anatomy, medicine, botany, zoology, heliocentrism, geocentrism, gases, gravity, conservation laws, and the laws of motion. Throughout the course, the student learns that most of the great natural philosophers who lived during this time were devout Christians who were studying the world around them to learn more about the nature of God.

Science will also include exploring our beautiful creation through nature journaling. Students will become observers of the world around them and incorporate art with science.
