CalendarGrammar School (K4 - 6th Grades)
Covenant Academy’s curriculum has been developed in accordance with the three stages of the Trivium, the foundation of Classical education. The Trivium is divided into three stages that correspond to the natural development of children. The Grammar Stage begins around the age of four as children develop an innate curiosity and love for learning. It is followed by the Logic or Dialectic Stage, which corresponds to the upper elementary and middle school years. The final stage in the Trivium is the Rhetoric Stage and corresponds to the high school years.
The Grammar School (Elementary School)
The Covenant Academy Grammar School continues to demonstrate quality academic standards by adhering to a quality curriculum. The outstanding characteristic of the curriculum is its strength in the core subjects. Language Arts focuses on intensive phonics that promotes the mastery of the basic components of the English language. This methodology not only teaches reading, which is so foundational to academic success, but it also teaches word analysis thus laying the foundation for higher level critical thinking skills. Coupled with our phonics program is an emphasis on grammar and writing; working together these components promote grammatical excellence in thought and expression. Latin is introduced in the 4th grade providing an understanding of the English language as well as the framework for deciphering the terminology of science and technology. The final aspect of the core curriculum is Saxon math, which integrates multi-sensory learning, memorization, and mental word problems with proven success.
