Our Educational Philosophy
Our educational philosophy involves three elements:
-
Classical school methodology
-
Core Knowledge Curriculum
-
Character Education
While the first two elements address what a student will know, the third element addresses the kind of person they will become.
Classical School Methodology
All students are instructed using a classical education approach of the trivium: grammar (receive and gather information), logic (arrange and connect the information), and rhetoric (put the information in practical expression). [ Read more ]
Core Knowledge Curriculum
Core Knowledge is a solid, shared, specific, and sequenced core
curriculum establishing strong foundations of knowledge. Each grade builds on the instruction and learning that came in earlier grades. [ Read more ]
Character Education
Our whole school has an emphasis on community; educating our students to be positive members of that community is part of what we believe. [ Read more ]
Other Curriculum
Caprock Academy will evaluate other curriculum to assess its fit with our philosophy and core values. Those currently being considered include:
- Shurley English - grammar
- Riggs Instruction - phonics-based reading
- Singapore Math - math computation
