Detailed weekly Family Guide — in active development
The full architecture for Grade 5 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 5 works in KFA.
Grade 5 opens Cycle B and the child's first encounter with a world bigger than their home. Missions history (William Carey, Mary Slessor, Hudson Taylor, modern global Christianity), basic civics, and the Reformation enter the conversation. The child's service work begins to be reflected on, not just done. Detailed Foundations Year 3 Family Guide is in active development.
