We offer a full day primary school program for junior kindergarten through second grade on Mondays from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We also offer a half-day dismissal for Jr. K and K before lunch. Primary school classes are directed by a lead instructor. Grade-specific subjects include math, phonics, literature, Christian studies, penmanship, enrichment (including art, music, poetry, and read-aloud picture books), and more.
Eligibility & Readiness: At HLS we are not in a rush to get a great education.
- Kindergartners must be 5 on or before July 1. For specific help in determining readiness for Memoria Press Kindergarten curriculum, see this online resource. If you are in doubt, please consider waiting a year or enrolling in our Jr. Kindergarten program for four-year-olds and young five-year-olds. There is no rush to begin formal schooling (read more at the resources below).
- First graders must be able to read Little Bear with help and write in manuscript. They will begin cursive training.
- Second graders must be reading well with a good grasp of English phonics. If they have not already started cursive, they should start practicing, as they are required to employ it this year.
