Curriculum

Knowledge House provides a two year-ahead accelerated program which meets and far exceeds all California state standards and Common Core State Standards.

The curriculum is :

Comprehensive : Because the elementary and middle school years are fundamental to a child’s overall development and education, I emphasize detailed instruction to achieve mastery over basic and advanced skills. This provides the necessary foundation for study in most higher level academic disciplines. Weekly homework assignments and tests reinforce the concepts learnt. Inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and problem solving skills are infused into daily practice and encourage further depth and breadth in each subject matter.

Integrated : The Math and LA programs incorporate the best practices and advanced curriculum content that are followed in many elite US private/public schools as well as some of the renowned international standard curricula across the world.

Up-to-Date: The Math and LA programs are renewed and updated each year in order to meet and exceed the changing standards and curriculum of US private and public schools.

Challenging : Central to the academic program is the belief that students should “Rise to the Challenge” by making every effort to explore and maximize their academic abilities and interests. I believe that children can succeed, no matter their background, as long as they are offered a coherent sequence of specific knowledge and skills which build year by year. The curriculum is structured to ensure the development of these skills in efficient and engaging ways, drawing upon traditional and current instructional methodologies and philosophies.
