Composition

Building on the foundation laid in Grammar 3, students advance through new units of Andrew Pudewa’s Teaching Structure & Style, adding fresh layers of structure and expression to their writing. Lessons introduce advanced techniques, invite careful editing, and encourage thoughtful word choice that balances clarity with creativity. 

Drawing from their studies in history and science, students craft paragraphs with growing coherence and depth—learning that writing, when ordered and expressive, mirrors the beauty of God’s design. Each composition becomes both discipline and delight, a small act of worship formed through words.

Grammar

Using Shurley English Level 4, students solidify foundational skills and deepen their understanding of grammar and sentence structure. ACTS provides structured lesson plans for families to complete at home, while classroom time introduces and reviews key concepts. Students recite jingles, classify sentence patterns, and demonstrate understanding before their peers—learning that precision in language strengthens both thought and communication. Grammar mastery is reflected in quarterly assessments, reinforcing diligence and growth.

History

Through Veritas Press Middle Ages History Cards and other texts, students encounter God’s providence woven through the Medieval Era—an age of castles, cathedrals, and courage. They map the geography of Medieval Europe, explore thirty-two pivotal events and figures, and discover how God’s Word was preserved through times of trial. Vocabulary study and timeline songs strengthen memory, while crafts, projects, and field trips bring the era vividly to life. History becomes more than dates and deeds—it becomes a story of faithfulness, revealing the steadfast hand of God across generations.

Science: Astronomy

Students explore the vast expanse of God’s universe through Exploring Creation with Astronomy. Lessons reveal the majesty and order of the solar system, the uniqueness of each planet, and the beauty of constellations, comets, and galaxies. Through hands-on projects, group investigations, and personal observation, students learn to see the heavens as both a field of study and a testimony of wonder. Each discovery points to the God who “numbers the stars and calls them by name.”

Latin

Continuing their study with Latin for Children Primer B, students strengthen vocabulary, grammar, and translation skills introduced in the previous year. Through chants, drills, and stories, they memorize over 300 words, translate sentences, and explore derivatives that connect Latin to modern English. Each exercise builds linguistic precision and delight, revealing how language—both ancient and living—reflects the beauty of order and meaning.
