Fifth Grade
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.
