| Grade 3 | Grade 4 | Grade 5 | Grade 6 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Story of History* | The Making of America (also for 4th graders) | Ancients | Christendom | Modernity or
20th Century (also for 7th graders) |
| English | Don’t Miss These Books 3 | Don’t Miss These Books 4 | Language Arts Level 1 | Language Arts Level 2 |
| Math | Math 4 | Math 5 | Math 6 | |
| The Grammar of Science** | Life Science or Sky and Space (in either order) | Introduction to Earth Science | ||
| Language*** | Grammar Latin A | Grammar Latin B | Grammar Latin C or Fundamentals of Latin | |
* The chronological sequence from Ancients to Christendom to Modernity is recommended for grades 4 through 6, but would also be appropriate for grades 5 through 7. The Making of America is taught at a 3rd or 4th or grade level. 20th Century is most appropriate for 7th graders, but is open to advanced 6th graders who are emotionally prepared for the subject matter.
** The Grammar of Science courses, Life Science and Sky and Space, can be taken in either order in grades 4 or 5; Introduction to Earth Science is recommended for 6th graders.
*** Grammar Latin A (using LFC Primer A) may be taken by a student who is at least 9 years old by September 1 of the school year. Note also that Fundamentals of Latin is intended for sixth graders who have no prior exposure to Latin and would be a step backward for students who have completed Grammar Latin B or Grammar Latin C. Sixth graders who have completed Grammar Latin C or equivalent should consider Latin 1.
