Our curriculum is designed to engage and inspire young minds. We believe in the power of "living" books, "living" things, and "living" ideas to ignite curiosity and foster a love of learning.

Inspired by Charlotte Mason's philosophy, we prioritize the use of rich, narrative texts over dry textbooks. Students delve into captivating stories and informative nonfiction, sparking their imagination and critical thinking skills. Through reading, narration, and discussion, students develop a deep understanding of complex concepts and learn to express their thoughts clearly and persuasively.

Our math and science programs emphasize real-world problem-solving and conceptual understanding. By focusing on the "why" behind mathematical operations and engaging in hands-on scientific inquiry, students develop a strong foundation in numeracy and a deep appreciation for the natural world. Students not only learn the core curriculum required by PA State Standards but also learn to truly understand math and its applications in real life. Math becomes "relevant and compelling." Students can strategically engage with math in college courses, in the trades, and in day-to-day situations.

Our curriculum offers a broad and balanced education that fosters intellectual curiosity and personal growth. Inspired by Charlotte Mason’s philosophy, we provide a “banquet” of subjects, including science, math, English, history, philosophy, visual arts, music, Spanish, Shakespeare, and physical education.

In addition to our broad curriculum, we employ a structured literacy approach to ensure that all students develop strong foundational reading and writing skills. By combining the best of traditional and contemporary methods, our literacy program empowers students to become confident and skilled communicators.

The Charlotte Mason Institute and Pennsylvania’s Department of Education monitor our curriculum and its implementation. The Charlotte Mason Institute is a nonprofit organization that brings together relational educators from across the globe to accredit schools, train teachers, and tailor curricula for public, private, and home schools. The Institute’s public charter branch offers a nonsectarian curriculum based on Charlotte Mason’s teachings and philosophy and meets all Pennsylvania Department of Education’s current state standards.
