At Heritage Oak, our Grammar School program for grades 1‐6 is uniquely structured to meet your child where they are developmentally and prepare them for the middle school years ahead. Designed to emphasize the classical education model through a biblical worldview, students flourish as they work with Christian teachers who seek to help them grow both spiritually and academically through a curricula that strikes the right balance of discovery, hands‐on‐learning, and memory work through various songs, jingles, chants, and lots of smiles!

Reading is the hallmark of the Grammar School experience and an strong emphasis is given to phonics instruction, reading, and comprehension. Faculty members for grades K-2 are trained in the Brainspring Phonics First® Orton-Gillingham based phonics program which is fully accredited by the IDA (International Dyslexia Association) and IMSLEC (International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council). Teachers typically make reading a part of the nightly homework and parents are encouraged to read regularly to younger students. The annual Read-A-Thon is an exciting time for students as they read for minutes and enjoy activities related to reading all month long.

Recommended Reading Lists are provided for parents and students to help select books for reading beyond the regular curriculum. Please check back regularly as these lists are periodically updated and expanded.
