Grammar School Cycles:  Humanities and Science

Following a kindergarten year in which students are introduced to the entire story of history and a range of scientific disciplines, all of our Knox Classical students hop aboard our current year of a four-year cycle studying the humanities (including Bible, history, literature, and science) and science.  While the rigor and focus of these studies varies based on whether a student is at the grammar, logic, or rhetoric stage of his or her education, this four-year-cycle approach means that, Lord willing, students will revisit historical time periods and scientific disciplines three times over the course of their first through twelfth grade education.  


Organizing all of our students’ humanities and science studies based on this cycle offers a couple of rich benefits.  First, as explained and recommended in the Well-Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Bauer, aligning the study of scientific disciplines with the approximate times they arose during history gives students the foundation to recognize connections between historical events and the advancement of science.  This also means that, unlike most modern educational methods that teach history in detached units (e.g., a year of American history, followed by a foray into ancient history, and then a stint on the peoples native to North and South America), our students will understand history as a cohesive whole.


Second, integrating humanities & science studies across grade levels furthers our mission as a collaborative school by streamlining home days and ensuring that siblings can learn together.  And even during on-campus days, integrating our studies provides the opportunity to mix ages and grade levels for certain projects or demonstrations—and also gives our students a sense of community as they all learn about the same things at the same time.


We’re starting our four-year cycle in the 2024—2025 school year with “Year 1” and progressing to Year 2 in 2025—2026, Year 3 in 2026—2027, and so forth, before going back to Year 1 for another, deeper round of study.

Knox Classical School admits students of any race, sex, color, or national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally afforded or made available to students at the school.  Knox Classical School does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, or national or ethnic origin in administering the school’s educational policies and practices; admission, financial assistance, and scholarship policies; or athletic and other school-administered programs.  Knox Classical School reserves the right to select students on the basis of academic performance. 

As a religious educational organization, Knox Classical School reserves the right to use religion in hiring and admission because of its objective, mission, and vision as a Christian, faith-based institution.  Knox Classical School believes that it partners with parents seeking to fulfill their responsibility under Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6 by providing a Christian education to children.  Knox Classical School thus discriminates on the basis of religion and conduct based on its religious beliefs.  This includes the religious commitment, lifestyle choices, and personal conduct of students and families, as well as their willingness to abide by Knox Classical School’s policies and cooperate with its administrators.  At times, a family’s lifestyle may be in such conflict with or opposition to Knox Classical School’s Statement of Faith that the school may, within its sole discretion, determine that it is not in the best interest of the student or the school to admit the student or continue the student’s enrollment.  For how “[d]o two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?”  (Amos 3:3).
