At Gift of Grace, curriculum is thoughtfully chosen to support the needs of the children in our learning community rather than relying on one single program or educational philosophy.
Our approach brings together strong academics, beautiful literature, nature study, hands-on learning, practical life experiences, and Christ-centered teaching. We draw from time-tested educational principles, including Montessori-informed practices and Charlotte Mason philosophy, while selecting quality resources that best support each child's learning. Individualized Learning Children do not all learn in the same way or at the same pace. Language arts and mathematics are taught at each child's appropriate instructional level through a combination of direct instruction, small-group lessons, independent work, and hands-on practice.
In our multi-age classroom, some learning is also enjoyed together. Science, nature study, literature, art, music, Bible, and other areas provide opportunities for children of different ages to learn alongside one another, with expectations and activities adapted as appropriate.
A Rich and Beautiful Education Our curriculum includes:
Language Arts — reading, phonics, spelling, writing, grammar, and handwriting
Mathematics
Science & Nature Study
History, Geography & Cultural Studies
Bible & Character Development
Beautiful Literature & Read-Alouds
Art & Music
Practical Life Skills
Movement & Physical Activity
Resources may vary according to the needs of our students and the season of learning. The Good and the Beautiful is among the quality resources we use for core academics, alongside carefully selected books, materials, unit studies, and hands-on experiences.
Throughout every area of learning, we seek to nurture curiosity, confidence, independence, strong academic foundations, and a love of learning while helping children see God's goodness and truth throughout His world.
