Your student’s natural curiosity is a gift. Our Lower School (Kindergarten through 5th grade) courses nurture it through stories, songs, and living ideas in small, cameras-on classrooms where your child is seen, known, and gently guided into the habits of attention and delight.
The lower school at Scholé Academy is a special place for our youngest students. Our courses are designed to fuel the mind and furnish the soul, paying particular attention to cultivating the joy of diligence and the wonder of discovery while instilling reliable habits that equip for a life of learning.
In contrast to an education that is narrowly utilitarian, classical Christian education understands education to be life formation. Respecting and engaging the child as a whole and unique person with an eternal soul is the starting point. Growth in virtue is the aim. Attending to developmental stages is the method.
For elementary students in particular, courses should be filled with engaging images, memorable lessons, and laced with songs and chants that make learning permanent. This is the nature of classical Christian education for the lower school student.
“My son thrived… I love that Scholé stands up to its name. Restful! As well as encouraging, creative and Christ-centered! I really feel like Scholé Academy has been well thought out in its approach to teaching and training young minds and hearts.”
We have carefully considered the nature of young students in the context of a wonder-filled, created world. We believe in honoring the child as a uniquely created person and in designing our virtual classrooms as places where the child is known and loved.
Our caring instructors teach through the lens of orthodox, Christian beliefs. Homeschool families choose our online lower school classes as a welcoming, interpersonal format for developing important dimensions of their child’s whole life.
Whether you are a seasoned homeschooler or just beginning, your family will find our courses meaningful, joy-filled, rich, and supremely rewarding.
