An explicit, intensive, systematic phonics program, The Writing Road to Reading by Ramalda Spalding, teaches sound symbol relationships, spelling, writing and reading. English grammar is emphasized.

Saxon Math utilizes incremental development and continual review allowing students to understand concepts as they increase in complexity and to apply the concepts to new situations.

Core Academy is recognized as an official Core Knowledge School by the Core Knowledge Foundation. The Core Knowledge Sequence consists of a body of widely used knowledge placed into the curriculum in a coherent and sequential design. This spiral includes history and geography, science and health, music, visual arts, and language arts (poetry, sayings, reading and writing, etc.). Use of this sequence allows students to establish a solid foundation of knowledge upon which to build.
