Grades 6 - 8 Curriculum
Students in grades 6-8 are in the logic stage of learning. They are able to use the facts they have memorized to solve problems, understand cause and effect, formulate simple logical arguments, and classify new knowledge within the framework of previous knowledge. During these years our goal is to impart understanding of the processes and rules that govern God's creation. We focus on teaching the procedures used to acquire knowledge and truth including Algebra, the scientific method, and Christian dogmatics.
