ABOUT THE STARTER CURRICULUM PROGRAM
Starter Curriculum
is for students ages 5 to 6.
Generally, it's considered to be "pre-literate"
curriculum, which means that the student is asked to do very
little reading on these courses. The courses, instead, are
based around "directed experience". Currently,
the first complete year (two semesters, each approximately
20 weeks worth) of curriculum is available. A second year
of
Starter
curricula is under consideration.
The end result of the
Starter Curriculum
is a bright, interested, active student who has a
rudimentary understanding of various subjects, and is ready
for more difficult work. Another result of the design for
Starter
is a student who trusts his own insights and abilities.
