The Core Knowledge Curriculum

Brevard Academy uses the Core Knowledge Curriculum as well as the Ready Math program for math.

The Core Knowledge curriculum is based on the writings of Professor E.D. Hirsch at the University of Virginia.

i-Ready Classroom Mathematics (K–8) is a comprehensive core mathematics program that makes math accessible to all students. Everything works together to support teachers and empower students to connect to mathematics in new ways.

We believe the future belongs to and will come from, the well-educated children of today.

  • What Is Core Knowledge?

    “The Core Knowledge Sequence is predicated on the realization that what children are able to learn at any given moment depends on what they already know—and, equally important, that what they know is a function of previous experience and teaching. Although current events and technology are constantly changing, there is a body of lasting knowledge and skills that form the core of a strong preschool-grade 8 curricula. Explicit identification of what children should learn at each grade level ensures a coherent approach to building knowledge across all grade levels. Every child should learn the fundamentals of science, basic principles of government, important events in world history, essential elements of mathematics, widely acknowledged masterpieces of art and music from around the world, and stories and poems passed down from generation to generation.” – Core Knowledge Philosophy

  • What is the Core Knowledge Scope & Sequence?

    Core Knowledge Schools use the What Every Child Should Know scope and sequence for each grade. The Core Knowledge Sequence is a detailed outline of recommended content knowledge and skills to be taught in language arts, history and geography, visual arts, music, mathematics, and science from preschool through grade eight. The Sequence complements the general skills and objectives typically found in state and local curriculum guides.”
