Please note that this is a tentative
and incomplete list of
possibilities.
The 6th grade program is
scheduled to be available in time for the fall of the 2005 school year, although
we are hoping to have it ready in time for the 2004 school year. Unlike
our elementary program, our middle-school program offers a lot of parental
support (guides, lesson plans, worksheets, writing projects, etc.) as the
student enters the dialectic stage of the trivium.
