Description
4th – 5th Grade | Classical Christian Education | 300–800 AD
The G4 Quarter 1 Instructional Materials Set from Fulshear Classical School is designed to challenge students at a higher level of academic rigor while cultivating clarity of thought, depth of understanding, and excellence in expression. At this stage, students are expected not only to learn and communicate, but to analyze, articulate, and engage meaningfully with ideas.
