COURSE DESCRIPTION

FreedomProject Academy provides a rigorous classical education. Fifth grade serves as a transition to middle school, reinforcing math fundamentals, sentence diagramming, and parts of speech. Writing skills develop through an outline-rewrite method, while classical literature builds vocabulary and imagination. Students study the human body and U.S. history through the 1800s, focusing on founding documents and the Constitution. Our fifth-grade team ensures students are well-prepared for higher education.

Mrs. Ricker graduated from Notre Dame College in 1995 with a BA in Elementary Education/Special Education and a minor in English. Currently, she lives in South Carolina with her husband and two dogs. Homeschooling her two children was her passion until they grew up! Emma is a nurse, and Colby is a cinematographer. Teaching for FPA has been Mrs. Ricker’s privilege for several years. When she is not teaching, she enjoys relaxing with a great book, kayaking, sharing time with friends, traveling, or keeping busy with home improvement projects.

Mrs. Ricker is excited to be working with homeschooling parents and students as a teacher at FPA!
