Our motto for Grammar School is wonder and delight because we know that it is a wonderful thing as students are introduced to the world around them and delight in becoming more knowledgeable about it. Some of the ways we help develop wonder and delight include: 

• Integrated curriculum with themes that unify literature, history, science, art, and music. As an example, 2nd graders build miniature tabernacles out of clay to connect the Bible to ancient history through the medium of art. This is a distinct value of classical education compared to traditional or “modern” education.
• Broad-based use of story, song, rhyme, rhythm, memorization, and recitation to make learning fundamentals fun and engage all learning modalities.
• Ongoing mentorship program with secondary students that truly demonstrates our family atmosphere. It’s not unusual to find a high school student reading to a kindergartener or Grammar students joining the high school Biology class as they dissect fish. This is intentional and unlike anything else, anywhere else!
• Early introduction of Latin to help students develop a sense of the universal consistencies of language construction. These early language lessons are designed to be engaging for young minds with something like the Latin conjugation of “Amo, amas, amat” (I love, you love; he, she, or it loves) being taught as a chant or a rhyme.
   

More Wonder & Delight...

• Daily Bible lesson and weekly chapel services where students sing and recite Bible verses
• Opportunities for and appreciation of visual arts, performing arts, music, theatre, and dance with weekly lessons where students might learn to Square Dance one week and design their own Koinobori (a Japanese carp-shaped windsock) the next! 
• Field Trips that support history and hands-on science studies such as the Oklahoma Aquarium, Tulsa Children’s Museum, Stillwater’s Pleasant Valley Schoolhouse, Oxley Nature Center, Kansas’ Cosmosphere, and the annual Tulsa Engineering Challenge.
