We strive to foster our students’ natural curiosity about the world and enhance their sense of wonder, with the goal of developing lifelong learners. We build a strong foundation to prepare students for success at the upper school level.
About Grammar School
This is the foundational stage of learning, characterized by memorizing a broad range of facts and absorbing knowledge. In any subject, ‘grammar’ refers to its fundamental components. For example, the grammar of spelling includes spelling rules and phonics, while the grammar of mathematics consists of memorizing math facts and formulas. In English, it involves understanding parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, and prepositions. The grammar of science encompasses key facts, including the planets in the solar system, the systems of the human body, the parts of a plant, the periodic table of elements, and cell structures. Similarly, the grammar of history involves learning significant events, dates, locations, and key figures.
The first step in learning anything new is mastering the foundational facts. Without this essential knowledge, deeper understanding is not possible. Nearly every profession has its own ‘grammar’—a unique set of fundamental knowledge and terminology. This applies to fields such as plumbing, welding, law, engineering, and medicine, each with its specialized vocabulary and principles.
Virtudes fundamentales
Classical education teaches objective virtues that have been long revered in the Western tradition, such as wisdom, temperance, justice, and courage.
