Curriculum
The goal of every curriculum implemented at MSP is to teach children to recognize God as He is revealed in His creation, through His Word and through His son. Here are the different curriculum areas
The Catechism
Music
In music class, the preschoolers learn about pitch, dynamics, scale, tempo, rhythm and more.They are taught the basics of music theory throughout the year beginning with how sound is made up of vibrations and culminating with the orchestra instruments.
Art
The basics of painting and drawing are taught weekly: color, shape, form, value, as well as the five elements of drawing. Preschoolers are also exposed to art history and a major artist whose work exemplifies the subject area they are studying.
Math
Students learn counting, shapes, sorting, and grouping during centers, primarily, but also through music, art, circle time and discovery time.
Language Arts
Humanities/Discovery Time
God’s creation is the theme for our humanities curriculum, which we call discovery time. the aim is to learn not only about the creation, but the Creator Himself. We have 3 different curriculums for the 3 age groups. Threes study aspects of creation: Water and what fills it, Land and what fills it, and the Sky and what fills it. Fours study the chronology of creation, starting with Day one to Day seven. Fives study creation in the context of the larger story: Creation, Fall, Redemption and Consummation.
