A Closer Look at Classical Curriculum

• If youve never heard of a classical curriculum,
  then you may be interested in what exactly it is
  referring to. How can it make a difference in
  everything that youre doing?
• How does it help your child to grow and advance
  in their education? In this article, were going
  to give you an idea as to what a classical
  curriculum is and how it can benefit your child
  as they grow and learn. Early Childhood Education

• First off, you need to recognize that the process
  of a classical curriculum is made up of three
  parts, and each of those parts is making it so
  that the mind is able to adapt and think well.
• A classical curriculum is set up in such a way
  that it follows the standard development of the
  child. Essentially, whatever stage the child is
  at, the classical curriculum is going to match up
  with it, making it much easier for the child to
  adapt to and embrace whatever it is that theyre
  learning. Early Childhood Education Lake Bluff

• The first part of classical curriculum is all
  about the building blocks. At this point in time,
  the mind is ready to take in information, and
  educators work to make sure that the children are
  getting all of the information that they want or
  need in order to succeed.
• Memorizing information when theyre in elementary
  school is actually an enjoyable experience, so
  giving them things to remember can really help
  them out. They will learn about all sorts of
  facts, including grammar, how to speak,
  descriptions of plants and animals, and
  more.Classical Curriculum

• The next part of the educational system is about
  analyzing information. This is that stage of life
  where kids start asking the question why all of
  the time. Instead of just learning the
  information that they were learning facts, they
  want to start to connect things and create
  situations where cause and effect play a role in
  what theyre learning.
• How does that caterpillar turn into a butterfly?
  Why do we get sick? How do birds and planes fly?
  By giving children the ability to be curious and
  explore how things work and are put together, we
  help to encourage this, and thus make it easier
  for them to learn as life goes on.
• This logical stage is incredibly important to a
  childs development, and so the curriculum
  matches that and allows them to explore. Daycare

• The last stage of the classical curriculum is
  about helping the child to find and embrace the
  things that they enjoy and want to learn about.
  This is where they go to different events and
  learn about the things they want to learn about.
• Allow them to take art classes during school. By
  giving them the freedom of individuality and the
  ability to explore anything and everything that
  they want to learn about when it comes to their
  education, children start becoming the adults
  that they want to be.
• This is where they decide (at least, for the
  first time) what they may want to explore when
  they go on to higher education. This may also be
  where children want to explore potential
  interests as well, and determine which they like
  and which they dislike.
• Are you looking for a school that will help your
  child get started with a classical curriculum
  that they can continue as they go into
  elementary, middle, and high school? Then take a
