Cornerstone (K4-5th)

A Cornerstone is the rock upon which the weight of the entire structure rests.  Scripture describes Jesus as the chief Cornerstone, Jesus ensures the stability of the whole system of our salvation.

Isaiah 28:16, "Therefore this says the Lord God: 'Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.

This parent assisted program that meets weekly for 12 weeks in the Fall and 12 weeks in the Spring from 9:00am-12pm, is intentionally designed to create a cornerstone that will ensure the stability of the whole system of our child’s education.  Keeping Christ first, we will point all subjects back to Him and His marvelous creation while creating a solid cornerstone of faith and classical learning. 

Classically, students are in the “grammar” stage of learning in this program and benefit from memorizing facts for each subject studied.  Later, these facts will be easily retrieved as the student begins to transition into a more dialectic and rhetorical stage. 

Our fall semester starts mid August and ends the week before Thanksgiving. Our Spring semester usually begins the 2nd week of January and goes through the end of April. Our years are broken into 3 "Peaks" of focus.  All grade levels K4-5th are learning the same information...some a little more deeper than others.

We have weekly science experiments/experiences, art (music theory, music history, artist focus, and drawing), and public speaking. 

We provide our members access to a Google Drive filled with resources for each week's anchor points (memory work) material that each parent can use or not use based on their "at home" plan for each of their students. Anchor points are given for Bible, History, Science, English, Geography, and Math.Apex recommends that parents purchase their own math curriculum to supplement Math anchor pegs. Apex also encourages parents to implement some sort of a reading plan for their student(s). English Grammar for students K4-2nd grade could simply be the anchor pegs we do each week because the Capstone Program that they start in the 3rd grade from 1pm-3pm on community days, is an intense and VERY thorough English Grammar and writing curriculum that has shown to be very rich and the kids.
