Foundations

What is the foundation of a great education?

Foundations is a grammar-stage program for children age twelve and under (Years R - 7) and their parents. Using creative activities, games, and lots of enthusiasm, Foundations tutors make memorisation fun. Tutors use techniques such as drawing to teach geography, singing to teach Latin, mnemonics in science, singing and rebuses for history, visual pegs to teach the timeline, and movements to teach English grammar. The facts they memorise establish a set of knowledge “pegs” on which they will “hang” the details of higher learning in later years.

We recommend all the resources listed below for students and parents enrolled in the Foundations programme. Don’t panic, though: Rome wasn’t built in a day, and your collection will grow over time. Only certain items are required to complete assignments and can be found by clicking on the button below. Tutors require additional resources.
