What We Teach
Students practice formal handwriting and the proper formation of each letter of the alphabet.
Students take formal handwriting, practicing the proper formation of each letter while at the same time developing fine motor skills.
 A solid foundation in phonemic awareness is built as children master the 70 English language phonograms which are essential tools for reading, writing, and spelling.
Students practice mental math and work on the ability to manipulate and apply numbers.
Students practice daily, mental math and strengthen their ability to manipulate and apply numbers.
All Explorer II students spend time reading in the classroom and given reading assignments to take home.
Each student spends time reading in the classroom as well as at home. We explore classic stories by C.S. Lewis, Andrew Lang, and other children's authors.
Teachers nurture habits of obedience and help develop motor skills.
Maturing habits of attention, obedience, responsibility, kindness and careful work grow as teachers and parents work together to encourage and inspire each child to do their best.Â
Children will study notable artists, poets, and composers from a variety of resources.
Students study the lives and works of two poets, two composers, and two artists, fostering an appreciation for their beautiful works.

We discovered Clapham, a classical Christian school, was only a 20-minute drive from our home. We set up a tour and were truly blown away by what the students were learning here compared to other schools. After our tour, we knew right away we would do anything to send our children here.
