OUR CURRICULUM
SC1 and SC2 use an adapted curriculum called enCore! There are a total of 36 units, and those units are banded by grade levels. All our classes have multiple grade levels. Due to this, some classes might use two units simultaneously. For example, a class might use a unit for kindergarten through second and a different unit for grades third through fifth. Each unit consist of an adapted fiction book and an adapted nonfiction book. It takes six weeks to complete one full unit with three weeks per book.
