Peninsula Preparatory Academy Charter School Core Knowledge is a detailed outline that provides a common base of curriculum content for language arts, history, geography, mathematics, science, arts, and music at the Academy. The Core program has been called a gifted program for all children. It is designed to encourage steady academic progress for children to build skills from one year to the next. Core prevents repetition and gaps in instruction that occur when schools lack a definitive curriculum guideline. Balanced Literacy has interwoven literature from the Scotts Foresman Literacy Program, Core Knowledge and integrates skills within all learning activities. Our students find related meaning in all stories and literary content as they study the countries and cities of the story settings and characters, and even the language, music, and art of the country and time period in which the stories take place.
