At New Summit Charter Academy we use the Core Knowledge Curriculum. This curriculum is based on the writings of Professor E.D. Hirsch at the University of Virginia. The Core Knowledge Foundation’s dedication is expressed in our mission:
To build an educational community that emphasizes a love of learning, and inspires and empowers students to reach New Summits.”
We believe the future belongs to and will come from, the well-educated children of today. We also believe economic circumstances of parents should not preclude the ability to choose high-quality education for their children. This is why we use the Core Knowledge Curriculum.
“The Core Knowledge Sequence is predicated on the realization that what children are able to learn at any given moment depends on what they already know—and, equally important, that what they know is a function of previous experience and teaching. Although current events and technology are constantly changing, there is a body of lasting knowledge and skills that form the core of a strong preschool-grade 8 curricula. Explicit identification of what children should learn at each grade level ensures a coherent approach to building knowledge across all grade levels. Every child should learn the fundamentals of science, basic principles of government, important events in world history, essential elements of mathematics, widely acknowledged masterpieces of art and music from around the world, and stories and poems passed down from generation to generation.” – Core Knowledge Philosophy
The Core Knowledge approach puts knowledge at the heart of schooling.
From CoreKnowledge.org
Core Knowledge Schools use the What Every Child Should Know scope and sequence for each grade. “The Core Knowledge Sequence is a detailed outline of recommended content knowledge and skills to be taught in language arts, history and geography, visual arts, music, mathematics, and science from preschool through grade eight. The Sequence complements the general skills and objectives typically found in state and local curriculum guides.”
