1st Grade Homeschool Curriculum

The Newberry Academy 1st Grade curriculum builds on the foundations

established in kindergarten and helps students continue developing essential academic skills.

Students strengthen reading and writing abilities, expand their understanding of

math concepts, explore science topics, and learn about important people and events in history.

Lessons are designed to support steady learning while helping children

grow in confidence and independence.
