Catechesis & Recitation – Following the Catechesis curriculum from Wittenberg Academy, this class will include a daily reading from the Bible and will focus on learning and reviewing weekly hymns, psalms, Bible verses, and Catechism selections. Using music and repetition, students will also memorize facts related to other academic subjects areas.

Additionally, students will read supplemental books, complete fun projects, and make use of a timeline and maps of the region.
