Tapestry of Grace Integrated Courses

Based on the award-winning Tapestry of Grace ​classical homeschool curriculum, Lucerna Academy provides a classical Christian education using an integrated unit study approach, with the history of the world as the core organizational theme. Rather than studying subjects independently, we integrate our study of the literature, geography, fine art, philosophy, and worldview of a people as we also study the history of that people, making rich connections and achieving a deeper understanding.

Where do we start? If you are new to Lucerna Academy, you are welcome to jump in with any of our four year plans.

Writing & Grammar
A Note About English Grammar Studies: We recommend that students study English Grammar at the upper grammar level. Students in our Writing and Grammar Level 1 course complete Tapestry of Grace's English Grammar curriculum throughout the school year, as they also study writing. Students in our Writing and Grammar Level 2 course review the Tapestry of Grace English Grammar material throughout the school year, as they study writing. If your student takes our upper grammar writing courses, they will receive a thorough understanding of English Grammar and will meet the English Grammar requirements in our dialectic and rhetoric writing courses.
