Curriculum Overview

Rooted in Discovery uses secular, academically rigorous, evidence‑based curricula chosen for clarity, depth, and developmental appropriateness.

History

Curiosity Chronicles: Snapshots of Medieval History

A narrative‑based, multicultural, secular history program that emphasizes:

  • Primary sources
  • Global perspectives
  • Critical thinking
  • Historical cause and effect
  • Understanding how evidence shapes our knowledge of the past

Science

R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey: Biology

A hands‑on, lab‑rich science curriculum focusing on:

  • Scientific method
  • Observation and data collection
  • Cell biology
  • Human body systems
  • Ecology and life cycles
  • Evidence‑based reasoning and scientific literacy

Both programs are designed to support multi‑age learning while maintaining academic rigor. Optional homework will include independent reading, essay prompts, and either a collaborative or independent Minecraft Final Project. These may be submitted for feedback and grading if desired or completed simply as an academic exercise to add depth of knowledge and solidify understanding.
