At Coastal Family School we pursue quality curriculums that balance instruction and discovery. We desire for our students to be full participants in their learning which requires their full interest and engagement. To that end, our teachers tailor our curriculum to meet the needs of individual students as well as their collective classroom group ensuring that our students remain active in the learning process. Though hybrid students receive classroom instruction on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, our teachers also thoughtfully prepare curriculum for families to cover at home (or their favorite place to learn) on Mondays and also plan and coordinate the Friday off campus group learning day. Coastal Family School students are immersed in high quality literature, being both read to by their teachers, engaging in phonics to sharpen their reading skills and learning grammar through stories and poems. The practice of reflecting on the stories they hear through expressive writing will deepen our student’s understanding of language as well as develop clear handwriting skills. Our elementary students explore the world through a literature based program that immerses them in the sights, sounds, tastes and art of many of our world cultures. Tapping into the natural curiosity of our students, we explore life sciences from a Biblical worldview using the Apologia curriculum. Math skills are built in small group instruction with opportunity for both individual and group projects, giving our students hands-on learning opportunities.
