We plan to meet weekly on Tuesdays at a church in the Rogersville, South Springfield, or Ozark area (facility pending). Our 28-week program runs 8:45 AM–12:30 PM (under 8), and 8+ will end at 3:30 PM.

In Approach, we will use Claritas Cycle 3 for the 2026–2027 school year. Students will participate in weekly memory work, along with hands-on science using the Claritas curriculum. Our science focus will be Chemistry, which intentionally aligns with and reinforces the weekly memory work. We will also be supplementing for Fine Art and presentations.

In Base Camp, we will use the Claritas Fundamental Grammar Guide along with the Cycle 3 Grammar Workbooks and IEW for creative writing. Students are grouped by age to ensure appropriate pacing and depth.

3rd–4th grade: Units 1–2, providing a strong introduction to grammar concepts

5th–6th grade: Units 1–3, offering a more in-depth study of grammar

We will be following the guides outlined by Classically Homeschooled for each level.

In Summit A - 7th grade - you'll see some favorite things like Fallacy Detective, Lost Tools of Writing for ELA, Visual Latin 1 for Latin, and much more. To see a full resource list, click here.

In Summit 1 - 9th grade - you'll see some favorite things too, like Visual Latin 2, Blue Book for policy debate, American Literature, personal finance lab, and much more! To see a full resource list, click here.

Yes! Our Base Camp classes are split into two groups, each using an IEW curriculum tailored to their age.

Base Camp 1 will be for ages 8 and 9 and will use IEW's Adventures in Writing.

Base Camp 2 will be for ages 10 and 11 and will be using IEW's Modern World History. Children over age 9 will participate in a Prominent Person event in February 2027.

We do not charge tuition. There is a $100 supply fee and a $100 facility fee per student, plus an additional $50 supply fee for Base Camp students.

We host a variety of community events throughout the year, including Family Nights, Mom Nights, field trips, and Merchant Day.

Each upper level also participates in a capstone event:

Base Camp: Prominent Person presentation

Summit A (7th grade): Science Fair

Summit B (8th grade): Mock Trial

Summit 1 (9th grade): Policy Debate

Since we do not charge tuition, we ask for something more valuable—your time. It takes many hands to make our community day run smoothly, and we encourage moms (and dads!) to serve in roles that use their God-given gifts, whether teaching, assisting, caring for younger students, or helping with setup and cleanup - we work together to invest in each other's lives.

At Prepare The Way, our day starts with an interactive Bible time for all ages.

The Approach program integrates memory work, presentations, fine arts, hands-on science, and intentional review time for ages four through eleven.

In Base Camp, students focus on grammar and writing using IEW to build strong communication skills for ages 8 through 11. We also have the grammar portion scheduled in the morning, so that after lunch, ages 8 through 11 go to fine art and have a fun, engaging class before jumping into IEW.

We use the Claritas curriculum across both programs, providing a cohesive and structured foundation. We also prioritize a scholé rhythm, allowing time for restful learning and curiosity. In our Summit program, multiple parents lead learning, each teaching within their strengths.

In Summit, we have multiple parents teaching from their God-given strengths. This allows parents to plug in with their other kiddos during community day and have less to prepare for during their week at home.

For the 2026-27 school year, we will be using Claritas' Cycle 3 Memory Work Guide. Below are the components covered in their curriculum:

- History: Early Modern - Dutch Revolt through the California Gold Rush.

- Geography: Canadian provinces, territories, cities, and features; North American features; U.S. Capitals

- Latin: Counting; facotrs of verbs; esse (all tenses); factors of nouns; case order; genitive endings; noun declensions; Dona Nobis Pacem; table blessing; Gloria Ptri.

- Science: Chemistry. Includes: scientific method; matter; density; atoms and bonds; element symbols; chemical reactions; acids and bases; Democritus; Dalton; Mendeleev; Le Chatelier's Principle.

- English: Parts of speech; nouns and pronouns; adjectives and articles; verbs and adverbs; conjunctions and interjections; prepositions and objects of the prepositions; fundamentals of sentences; types of verbs; direct and indirect objects; types of conjunctions; types of pronouns; antecedent; categories of nouns; types of nouns.

- Timeline: Creation to Rising Tide of Freedom.
