The “grammar stage” (elementary, roughly grades 1-4)
Focus: absorption of information, memorization
The “logic stage” (middle school years, roughly grades 5-8)
Focus: development of analytical thinking skills, abstract thought, cause and effect, relationship between different fields of knowledge, the way facts fit together into a logical framework.

Focus: fluent, forceful, original self-expression in speech and writing, specialization in particular areas of learning
To best organize the material each grade will study the timeline is broken up into three repetitions of the same four-year pattern with science topics reflecting what was most studied in that period:
Ancients 6,000 BC – AD400 and Biology, Classification, Human body (grades 1,5,9)
Medieval/Early Renaissance AD 400-1600 and Earth Science, Astronomy (grades 2,6,10)
Late Renaissance/ Early Modern 1600-1850 and Chemistry (grades 3,7,11)
Modern 1850-present and Physics, Computer Science (grades 4, 8,12)
