School of Grammar
Grades 1-6
Grammar School comprises Classes 1 through 6 at Providence. During this period students are naturally adept at memorizing through songs, chants, and rhymes. If you can get children in this stage to sing or chant something, they will remember it for a lifetime.
That is what we do at Providence. We lay the foundations of how to think for our grammar school students. In every subject – math, reading, Bible, history, geography, science, art, music, physical education, and Latin – our students learn the fundamental language for successful critical thinking and analytical skills that are needed in the years ahead. Our goal is to set our students up for success in life and that begins with young minds.
An education where subjects are integrated. School classes are divided into specific subjects–math, literature, art, etc.–but reality is complicated and unified in a way these subject divisions don’t acknowledge. To help our students understand truth that cuts across subject divisions, we encourage integration as often as possible. Our Grammar School teachers pull different subjects together through integrating history, Bible, and literature. Science is also often scene in light of mathematical calculations and the history of the world.
