A Day in the Life: Founders Kindergarten

This school year, 48 kindergarten students began their journey in classical education at Founders Leander. Founders Leander is a liberal arts school where goodness and truth are pursued for their own sake, and where the humanities, the sciences, and the arts are taught together as parts of a complete and harmonious whole. The curriculum at Founders Classical Academy is carefully selected. It teaches the liberal arts and emphasizes the moral and intellectual virtues through a content-rich, cohesive course of study. The Grammar School (Kindergarten-6th Grade) curriculum focuses on a solid language arts core, comprised of explicit phonics, handwriting, and grammar, as well as Singapore math and the content-rich Core Knowledge curriculum. The classroom is traditionally structured and teachers provide direct instruction. Students are encouraged to improve their minds and their character in accordance with virtue. At Founders Leander, we encourage our new Kindergarten friends to enjoy their journey. To cultivate a love of the just, the beautiful, the good, and the true, and to make the pursuit of these things a way of life. Our thanks to Founders Leander high school student, Elijah Carter and 50 MM Studios, for generously providing his talents to produce this video.
