3^rd - 8^th Grade

Investigate

Students in 3^rd - 8^th grade begin our INVESTIGATE cycle with Exploring Countries and Cultures. Like all of our Investigate packages, this provides a full year of Bible, geography, history, literature, science, music appreciation, and art activities for a range of ages. Once the year is completed, all 3^rd - 8^th grade children move to the next INVESTIGATE package and continue learning together.

Compact Schedule
Thorough Bible Integration
Unites the Family
Hands-On Activities
Kids Learn from Each Other
Global Focus

Our Teacher's Manuals explain what level of content should be taught to each child. A 7^th grader, for example, completes assignments more thoroughly than a 3^rd grader while using many of the same resources. This keeps the family together when possible and assures that the parent is only teaching one complete INVESTIGATE curriculum each year.
