| The Core Knowledge Curriculum by E.D. Hirsch will serve
as the foundation of our educational philosophy. Core Knowledge

communicated when it is sequential, incremental, and allows
for practice and repetition. Core Knowledge is Solid, Sequenced,
Specific, and Shared. Core Knowledge provides shared core
curriculum in order to help children establish strong foundations
of knowledge, grade by grade. |
