Welcome to Living Grace Academy

Learning the Word of God. 

We begin our morning with daily prayer, discussion, and devotional reading.

We believe students should be able to sit where ever is best for them to learn. 

Students have the flexibility to sit in a desk or at a table, on the floor with cushions, use the bean bags chairs, cushions, fuzzy red chairs and lay on the yellow rug while learning. We do have a few lessons that have to be worked on at our tables or desk. 

My Father's World allows for a structure schedule that can be flexible to meet each student at their level. 

Math in our microschool is practical, hands-on, and adapted to meet students at their individual skill levels. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, students apply math concepts through real-life problem-solving, projects, and everyday situations—such as budgeting for materials, measuring for construction or gardening projects, and analyzing data from classroom experiments.

Younger students build a strong foundation in number sense, operations, and place value using manipulatives and interactive activities. Older students explore algebra, geometry, and applied math through projects like vehicle maintenance, planning events, and financial literacy. Multi-age groupings encourage peer teaching and collaboration, while one-on-one guidance ensures that each learner progresses at their own pace. This approach makes math meaningful, engaging, and relevant to each student's goals and interests.

Science in our microschool is discovery-based, experiential, and rooted in the natural world. Students explore biology, physics, earth science, and environmental studies through hands-on projects like gardening, chicken hatching, mechanical repairs, and sustainability practices. Learning is driven by curiosity and observation, allowing students to investigate scientific principles in real time.

Younger students engage in sensory-rich exploration, nature walks, and simple experiments to build foundational understanding. Older students dive deeper into scientific methods, data collection, and applied research, often through long-term projects that involve real-world problem-solving. Whether tracking the growth of plants, analyzing the function of an engine, or observing animal behavior, students learn to ask questions, test hypotheses, and think critically. The microschool setting empowers students to see science as an active, ongoing process that is all around them.

Social Studies in our microschool emphasizes community, culture, history, and real-world citizenship. Students learn by engaging with their local environment, exploring historical events, participating in service projects, and reflecting on their roles within society. Lessons are often connected to students’ lives—whether through studying local businesses, understanding government functions, or comparing past and present innovations.

Younger students explore family traditions, community helpers, and foundational geography. Older students examine historical movements, economics, civics, and global awareness through research, discussion, and hands-on projects like work-based learning or school-wide service initiatives. Multi-age group collaboration encourages empathy, perspective-taking, and leadership. The goal is to foster informed, responsible, and compassionate individuals who understand their place in both their immediate community and the wider world.

In our microschool, English Language Arts is personalized, project-driven, and rooted in real-world communication. Students engage with language through technical manuals, literature, creative writing, and documentation—often tied to their personal interests and hands-on projects. Rather than relying solely on textbooks, learners read and interpret a variety of texts including automotive guides, instructional diagrams, and classic stories, developing both comprehension and critical thinking skills.

Writing assignments are practical and meaningful: students create project journals, write reflections, draft instructions, and present ideas both verbally and in writing. Spelling, grammar, and vocabulary are taught in context, allowing students to see their immediate application. Group discussions and presentations help build confidence, collaboration, and strong communication skills across age levels. This approach fosters a lifelong appreciation for language and empowers students to be thoughtful, capable communicators in any field.

Reading in our microschool is individualized, immersive, and deeply connected to student interests and real-life application. Students read across a wide variety of genres—including fiction, nonfiction, technical texts, and informational materials—to build comprehension, vocabulary, and a love for reading. Books and materials are carefully selected to reflect both age-appropriate challenges and relevance to the students' current projects and passions, such as automotive repair, animal care, or gardening.

Younger students focus on building fluency and decoding skills through guided reading and phonics-based strategies, while older students practice critical thinking by analyzing themes, author’s purpose, and structure in more complex texts. All students engage in discussion, narration, and journaling to process and respond to what they read. This flexible, student-centered reading environment fosters confidence, curiosity, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Art in our microschool blends creativity with practical skill-building, offering students a space to express themselves while connecting their work to real-world applications. Projects include traditional mediums such as drawing, painting, and sculpture, as well as technical and applied arts like automotive sketching, design layouts, and craft-based projects tied to their academic learning or personal interests.

Younger students explore the elements of art—line, color, shape, and texture—through playful, exploratory projects that build fine motor skills and self-expression. Older students focus on design principles, composition, and portfolio development, with opportunities to showcase their work in community events or school displays. Art is integrated across subjects, reinforcing learning in science, math, and history while nurturing each student’s creativity, confidence, and visual communication skills.

Physical Education in our microschool emphasizes movement, health, teamwork, and lifelong fitness. With a flexible, student-centered approach, PE activities are tailored to meet the needs of all ages and abilities, promoting both physical development and personal well-being.

Younger students focus on fundamental motor skills through games, obstacle courses, and cooperative play. Older students engage in structured physical challenges, sports, and fitness routines that encourage endurance, strength, and coordination. Outdoor exploration, gardening tasks, and hands-on work projects are also integrated to promote natural movement and real-world physical activity.

In this setting, PE is not just a class—it’s part of daily life, helping students build discipline, reduce stress, and develop healthy habits in a supportive, active learning environment.

Music in our microschool nurtures creativity, expression, and a love for rhythm and sound through an engaging, flexible program that adapts to all age levels. Students explore music through listening, singing, rhythm games, and hands-on instrument practice—often integrated with other areas of learning, such as history, culture, or storytelling.

Younger students learn basic musical concepts like beat, pitch, and melody through movement, songs, and playful exploration. Older students dive deeper into music theory, songwriting, and performance, and may study different genres, composers, and instruments. Whether participating in group singing, learning an instrument, or creating original compositions, students gain confidence, coordination, and an appreciation for music as both an art and a means of communication.

Hands-on lessons in our microschool are the heart of student engagement and learning. Rooted in real-world application and student interest, these lessons allow learners to explore concepts through direct experience, problem-solving, and active participation. Whether it's measuring lumber for a garden bed, disassembling an engine, hatching chicks, or cooking from a harvest, students learn by doing—using their minds, hands, and creativity together.

Lessons are often cross-curricular, blending math, science, reading, and practical skills into meaningful projects. Multi-age groupings encourage collaboration, with older students mentoring younger peers. This approach builds critical thinking, confidence, independence, and a deeper understanding of how knowledge applies to everyday life.

Hands-on learning transforms abstract ideas into tangible experiences—making education not just something students receive, but something they build and live out.
