Grace Classical Academy places a high value on inculcating in its students a love for and knowledge of history. We start at the very beginning (Genesis) and move through history chronologically. We don’t arrive at United States history (such a young nation we are!) until 5th & 6th grades. And we are fortunate to have wonderful local field trip opportunities to supplement our studies. These students attended Wagons Ho! at Riley’s Farm, where they learned about: assembling equipment/rations/supplies for 1-day on the trail, pulling a handcart, trailside burials, “tying the knot” – literally! – on the trail, military conscription, historical characters, trail food, crafting, archery, and pastime games. The students, clearly, had an amazing time.
