We begin each meeting with a hymn, prayer, catechism memory work, and recitation of poetry or Scripture.
God's People (1st-8th Grades): One of our main goals at Grace Heritage is to explore countries and cultures around the world from a global missions perspective. In God's People, students focus on one continent each year, exploring the cultures represented in several countries, as well as historical and modern missionaries to the region.
Natural History (1st-3rd Grades) : Students in 1st-3rd grades learn about natural history using living nature books, hands-on exploration, painting and drawing, and more.
Geography Foundations (1st-3rd Grades/new for 2026-2027): Students in 1st-3rd grades will explore basic geography concepts through living geography books, maps, sand trays, etc.
Science (4th-8th Grades): Students in 4th grade and older complete science experiments at co-op. They are encouraged to complete one outside reading and narration at home, and come to class prepared to discuss their learning prior to completing the related experiment.

Kindergarten
Our four and five year olds have one class period for Stories of God's World during which they are offered age-appropriate exposure to many of the same concepts as the older students but without formal lesson requirements. During the other class periods, they spend time in a literature and play-based curriculum, in creativity stations, music and movement, and out of doors.
Pre-K, Toddlers, and Infants
The youngest members of our community have story time, creativity stations, music and movement, classroom free play, and playground/outdoor time.

After dismissal, families have the option of meeting outdoors for a picnic lunch, nature journaling, and play. This is an extension of our co-op day and is not required.
