Core Knowledge Is...

"... a necessary foundation for higher order reading, writing, and thinking skills" - E. D. Hirsch Jr.

We learn new knowledge by building on what we already know. Students in Core Knowledge schools know a lot because they are offered a coherent sequence of specific knowledge that builds year by year. Built upon The Four S's, we offer a solid, sequenced, specific, and shared knowledge foundation in the early grades, when children are most receptive and prepared for a lifetime of learning.
