Dealing with knowledge of the Scriptures — in particular that which directs students to daily repentance, remembering their baptisms and directing the community to the Means of Grace offered every Lord’s Day in the Divine Service. Teachers will help students memorize Bible verses, the Small Catechism, the liturgy and hymn stanzas. Teachers will instruct the students in the use of Bible tools (concordances, cross-references, Bible dictionaries, Bible atlases). Key threats and challenges to the faith and life of our children are to be identified and addressed by our curriculum — which is not merely Bible knowledge for its own sake. The curriculum will progress from concrete narratives in the grammar stage to the abstract nouns (e.g. faith, hope, and love) in the logic stage.
