Private Online Elementary School Curriculum

At Grand Canyon Private Academy (GCPA), we believe all students should wake up excited to learn. We also believe that true learning starts by calling out to the innate curiosity in each child and sparking the excitement of discovery.

  

That's why GCPA utilizes the Stride K12 curriculum, a high-quality, relevant learning program designed by an experienced team of educators using proven instructional approaches. At the elementary school level, students take courses in core subjects listed below. A world language course is required starting in Kindergarten.

A Strong Foundation for Your Child's Academic Journey

The elementary curriculum focuses on developing fundamental skills and teaching the key knowledge building blocks that each student needs to master the major subject areas, and complete more advanced coursework. Our personalized approach means students can learn at a pace that meets their needs.

Bringing Lessons to Life

Lessons come alive with a rich mixture of online and hands-on materials including interactive animations; printed books with beautiful illustrations and narrative, original music and videos; and materials for hands-on experiments.*

Lessons are followed by formal and informal assessments, so you can be sure that your child has mastered a concept before moving on. Built-in planning and progress tools make it easy to stay on track. And with hundreds of lessons per subject, students can dive deeply into areas of interest.

Socratic Seminar Teaching Method

Through this method of teaching, students engage in guided interactions among themselves on the topic at hand. Learning happens through the interaction of the group and not through lecture. This strategy helps:

  • Develop higher cognitive abilities
  • Develop the ability to respond
  • Develop the ability to seek clarification and defend the ideas of others 
  • Develop the ability of keen observation of experience and feelings and how to present them effectively

Recurring Themes

Throughout our elementary courses, you'll find repeated themes that build on the earlier grade's teaching and weave an ever-richer tapestry of overlapping knowledge. That means your child may study literature from the same time period as the art or history lessons covered in our classes. For example, a story about a king who built a monument to honor his late wife dovetails nicely with an examination of the origin, history, and architecture of the Taj Mahal.
