The Vision of FCS Grammar School
Humanities, Integration, and Community Around God’s Beauty, Goodness, and Truth:
Humanities is the core of learning at Franklin Classical School because it is God’s Story. Our goal is to integrate our entire curriculum with “His story” at the center, observing everywhere the objective standard of God’s Beauty, Goodness, and Truth.
Humanities in Grammar School consists of cycling through three historical time periods: Antiquity, Christendom, and American History. Beginning in Kindergarten, FCS students complete four quarterly projects each year. See our Traditions page for more!
In Grammar school, our emphasis on parent-directed education begins with Mondays at home in parent-led instruction.
Grammar students attend class Tuesday-Friday where a typical schedule includes: Bible, Grammar, Math, Humanities, PE, Science, Latin, Literature, Music, and Art.
Our approach to history and geography is as a grand adventure, like opening a storybook. Young children have the ability to imagine and to shift in place and time. Just as children can jump right in to a storybook or a great Bible story, so we open the pages of history and tell the grand story of God’s work among men. 
Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, in his “A Lecture on Lectures,” describes this approach to teaching as creating a sense of community, a sense of everyone being on an epic adventure together. That is what we seek to build in our grammar school—a sense of community in a common purpose. Not only do we want to develop FCS community, but also a sense of us walking together in community in this grand adventure of God’s story.
