Lower School
The classical approach recognizes grammar, logic, and rhetoric as three developmental stages through which all children pass. The Lower School years are the grammar years, a time to master the facts and frameworks of every subject.
And this factual mastery comes naturally to children in these elementary years. Grammar students are sponges. They readily absorb facts, songs, and idea.
We take advantage of this penchant by deliberately giving young students high quality material that is worthy of absorbing. This is why the TWS curriculum unites classic, time-honored works of literature, history, art, and music, integrated with a biblical perspective. We realize that these grammar studies will form the foundation on which our students will build the rest of their lives.
Children’s affections, habits and relational patterns are also forming during the grammar years. This is the time to cultivate a love for learning, good habits of study, and a pattern of kindness with others.
