Detailed weekly Family Guide — in active development
The full architecture for Grade 4 is canonized in the Master Curriculum. We are publishing the fleshed weekly Family Guides Stage by Stage — Kindergarten (Roots Year 1) is fully detailed now, with the remaining years rolling out in sequence.
What to Expect
How Grade 4 works in KFA.
Grade 4 closes Cycle A and begins the child's first reflective theology. Why is the Resurrection the hinge of history? What does it mean for them today? Apologetics is introduced gently and pastorally — never combatively. Detailed Foundations Year 2 Family Guide is in active development.
