What your child learns, grade by grade
One sheet per grade, setting out what is taught in every subject across the year. Each opens as a PDF you can read on a phone, save, or print.
01 — The Shape of It
Two schools under one roof
El Escuela de Gramática covers Kindergarten through Grade 5, the years when children have remarkable memories and love to recite. This is when they gather the facts, poems, tables and stories that everything later is built on.
El Escuela Superior covers Grades 6 and 7, when students begin to reason with what they know, argue a position and defend it — and discover they have something worth saying.
02 — The Subjects
What we teach, and how
- Matemáticas de Singapur Mathematics understood rather than merely finished, built concrete to pictorial to abstract.
- Fonética explícita Every child taught to read by sounding words out, never by guessing from context.
- Virtudes fundamentales Character formed deliberately — courage, honesty, perseverance, moderation, friendship, prudence.
- Bellas Artes Looking at and making real work, from the tradition rather than from a craft box.
- Educación física Movement, games and the habits of a healthy body.
03 — The Partnership
In partnership with Hillsdale College
We do not build a classical education from scratch. Through Hillsdale College’s K–12 initiative, our teachers work from a proven curriculum refined over years, and are trained and supported in teaching it.

Preguntas frecuentes
What subjects do students study at ACAR?
All students study Literature, Literacy (explicit phonics and grammar), Mathematics, History, Science, Music, Art, Latin, and Physical Education.
Which curriculum does the school use?
ACAR teaches the Hillsdale K-12 curriculum through its partnership with the Hillsdale Barney Charter School Initiative, a proven programme designed to form a complete whole across subjects and grade levels.
Do all students really learn Latin?
Yes. Latin is part of the course of study for every student, alongside the other liberal arts and sciences.
What does "classical education" actually mean here?
A classical education seeks knowledge of the nature of things, drawing on the great works of literature, philosophy, politics and art to understand human nature, and on mathematics and the sciences to understand the physical world. It aims at moral formation as well as knowledge.
How are the subjects connected to one another?
The curriculum is integrated deliberately. Within a grade, history lessons connect with art, music and literature, and science lessons connect with mathematics, history and music, so that the foundation built in the younger grades allows deeper study later.
