Claritas Classical Memory Program
Taking a classical approach which focuses on the grammar stage of the trivium, the foundation of this class is the Claritas Memory Work Guide/CrossSeven Cycle 3 (The Dutch Revolt through the California Gold Rush). The Memory Work Guide/CrossSeven covers 28 separate grammar pegs for the following subjects: Hymns, Scripture, English Grammar, Latin, Math, History, Geography, Timeline, and Science. Each week the students will memorize the grammar peg for each of the subjects for that week. New memory work will be introduced on Mondays and reviewed on Wednesdays. Students will be expected to work on the Claritas Memory Work/CrossSeven at home on non-class days.
​
​The following core subjects will be taught on Mondays and Wednesdays with homework required on the other days of the week: Grammar, Spelling, Handwriting, Latin, Literature, Math, History, Science, Art, and Music. These courses will follow a classical method of teaching, keeping in mind the grammar stage of learning and centering around Claritas Memory Work/CrossSeven Cycle 3.
​
Parent involvement at home is required.
***Parents must attend a Claritas Parent Meeting which will be held at the beginning of August. Please reach out to Julie Cox (bjcoxfam@sbcglobal.net) or Molly Boatright (mollybfit@gmail.com) for meeting times and locations.
