LOWER LEVEL (ELEMENTARY) CURRICULUM

We believe the foundation of a child’s education shapes their entire life. Our classical approach is designed to cultivate wonder, strengthen character, and nurture a lifelong love of learning from the very beginning.

Rooted in a Christ-centered worldview, our program introduces young learners to truth, goodness, and beauty through rich literature, language, history, music, nature study, and hands-on discovery. We focus on training minds and shaping hearts—developing not just what students know, but who they are becoming.

Classical education in the elementary years emphasizes mastery of foundational skills, especially in reading, writing, and arithmetic, while capitalizing on a child’s natural curiosity and capacity for memorization. Using time-tested methods such as narration, recitation, and Socratic questioning, we equip students with the tools of learning that will serve them for a lifetime. At TELOS, our goal is to cultivate wisdom and virtue from the earliest years—laying a joyful, God-honoring foundation that prepares children to think deeply, live faithfully, and grow in their love for the Lord and His world. *Note, There may be small changes to the following curricula.

At TELOS LOWER LEVELS, classes are broken into the following segments: 3, 4-5, 6.
