Our 2025-2026 class offerings will be limited and/or require adjustments as we begin our co-op journey. The following is our ideal scope and sequence.
With the exception of Pre-Primary, all students participate in Latin (or Phonics/Handwriting),
Literature, and Classical Studies courses.
Co-op day will include read-alouds, songs, games, and activities from Day 1 of the related Memoria Press weekly lesson plan.
The purpose of Level A is to “cultivate wonder and an appreciation for language….We intend with these readiness activities only to give children an introduction to listening, literature, and learning. Music, language, movement, and wonder remain the developmental heart of the preschool program.”
Level B continues the wonder-based, literature-rich goals of Level A while deepening the child’s skills in sound differentiation, fine motor development, and essential manners. As in Level A, this is accomplished through meaningful activities, gentle instruction, and beautiful materials.
“Level C helps strengthen [the] child’s readiness skills with…traditional games and songs, stories, recitations, oral language exercises, number concepts, fine-motor activities, biblical literacy, and poetry.”
Co-op day will include review of learned concepts, introduction and practice of new concepts, reading practice, letter formation, copybook and/or cursive.
Students begin their reading journey with an integrated, phonics-based approach that includes ear training, handwriting, and auditory spelling. This level covers all consonants, short vowels, long vowels with silent e, consonant blends, and h-teams.
Students expand their phonics knowledge and begin reading classic children’s literature such as Robert McCloskey’s Make Way for Ducklings and Virginia Burton’s The Little House. They also begin their study of cursive which enables them to more easily use student guides in later levels. This level reinforces the concepts of Level I, while adding long vowel teams, consonant blends, consonant digraphs (teams), and r-controlled vowels.
Students complete their phonics instruction and begin their first full-fledged student guides, integrating vocabulary, comprehension, composition, and memory work. They also refine their use of cursive to include smaller size, consistent slant, and the ability to read cursive writing. This level includes the introduction of regular and irregular plurals, base words, prefixes, suffixes, homonyms and basic syllabication rules.
Co-op day will include recitation of previously learned material, teaching of new material for the week, and in-class practice of the new material to ensure understanding.
For students who have finished Phonics III, as well as for new students who would benefit from a gentle introduction to Latin. Includes an introduction to parts of speech, Latin vocabulary, basic verb forms, and a selection of prayers in Latin, including the Pater Noster and Benedictus.
For students who have finished Phonics III and are ready for more challenge than Intro A but not quite ready to begin a deep dive into the Latin Grammar.
Please note: students must be at least 10 years old before beginning our Latin Grammar sequence. In Latin Grammar I, students will learn:
For fluent readers, ages 8+
Each level covers two years of study, offered in alternating years.
Co-op day will include Socratic discussion and enrichment activities based on the previous week’s readings, preparation for the upcoming week’s chapters (including concepts and vocabulary that will aid in reading), paragraph or essay preparation/instruction if needed, and in-class reading as appropriate/time permits
For students who are now reading fluently but still building stamina, intonation, etc. Also for students who are reading well but are at an early level in composing complete sentences, determining vocabulary meaning from context, finding answers in a text, and discussing themes.
For fluent readers, ages 8+
Each level covers two years of study, offered in alternating years.
Co-op day will include Socratic discussion and enrichment activities based on the previous week’s readings, preparation for the upcoming week’s chapters (including concepts and vocabulary that will aid in reading), paragraph or essay preparation/instruction if needed, and in-class reading as appropriate/time permits
Enrichment prepares students for later history and cultural studies by developing a sense of wonder and a love of beauty through classic read-alouds, poetry, art and music appreciation, read-aloud based history and natural science topics, and hands-on activities.
Classical I-B
Famous Men of Rome
Classical Studies II completes the student’s introduction to the great characters and events of classical and medieval times, preparing them for a deep dive into the cultural, religious, political, and social histories that have formed our modern world.
Classical II-A
Famous Men of the Middle Ages
Classical II-B
Famous Men of Greece
Classical III-A
Book of the Ancient Greeks, Homer’s Iliad, The Odyssey
Classical III-B
Book of the Ancient Romans, Virgil’s Aeneid
Classical Studies IV invites students to draw on previously-learned historical and cultural knowledge as they are immersed in some of the greatest dramas ever written, including that of Dante, of whom Nobel Prize winner T.S. Eliot wrote: “Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.”
