Inside the Well Ordered Language Program: A Scholé Academy Info Session
Well-Ordered Language Level 4 is the fourth part in a four-level series that presents grammar in a clear, orderly way, while simultaneously seeking to cultivate a child’s wonder of language with instruction in the context of narrative language, attractive illustrations, with samples taken from classic children’s literature and poetry. The carefully crafted pedagogy of this series helps students learn the mechanics of grammar while they also see the power of language unfolding before them as they learn to gather and arrange words to express their thoughts clearly and accurately.
In this class, students will not merely be able to identify the parts of a sentence, but they will also understand how words behave in a sentence. As students see the components of language (the parts of speech) unfold before them throughout the Well-Ordered Language series, they will be able to apply their knowledge, gathering and arranging words to express their thoughts clearly and accurately.
In the first semester of the class, students will learn about sentence diagramming, principal elements, adverbs & adjectives, predicate verbs, predicate nominatives & predicate adjectives, prepositional phrases, personal pronouns, Indirect objects, interrogative pronouns & interrogative adverbs, relative clauses with relative pronouns & relative adverbs, and appositives. In the second semester students will learn about reflexive and intensive pronouns, adverbial clauses and phrases, indefinite pronouns, participial phrases, gerund phrases, infinitive phrases, verbal phrase review, noun clauses, and sentence diagramming.

Kara Lobley enjoys finding answers and imparting those discoveries to everyone. This passion for truth inspired her to earn her bachelor’s degree in history at Patrick Henry College (PHC), in Purcellville, VA. The classical experience at PHC and her own experience being homeschooled outside the classical tradition (K-12) showed Kara the beauties of each approach. She delights in witnessing how classical homeschooling equips students to identify and discover “the true, the good, and the beautiful” in the world around them and to share those breakthroughs with others.
Kara began working with children as a high schooler at children’s theater camps and at her church’s Vacation Bible Schools. During college and post-graduation, she spent five years as a high school writing tutor and one year as a preschool teaching assistant. Kara starting teaching lower and middle school Well-Ordered Language and Writing and Rhetoric classes with Scholé Academy in the fall of 2020 and is excited to return again this year. Outside of the classroom, Kara can be found reading, hiking, or singing.
Jennifer Armstrong has a B.S. in English and an M.A. in Student Affairs Administration from Ball State University in Indiana. She is a homeschool mom of two and has been homeschooling her daughters with the support of a classical tutorial since 2014. She has been teaching lower school English and History in the tutorial since 2019 where she enjoys looking for the true, good, and beautiful with her students. After more than twenty years working in Higher Education, she’s looking forward to focusing on educating young students in the fundamentals of the English language and giving them the tools to recognize and create beautiful and true things as they grow. When she’s not teaching, she enjoys reading and discussing literature, creating things from fabric and yarn, and trying to make a garden grow.
