Curriculum
The Strickland School curriculum emphasizes strong Phonics & Math skills in the early grades, teaching memorization of the rules necessary for proper Spelling, Grammar, Speech, and higher Math skills. In the upper grades, students benefit from the basics learned in the early grades. Upper grade subjects include Grammar, Math, History, Music, P.E., Spanish, Computer, Science, and Literature & Composition. Additional subjects may also be available. For a complete discussion of the curriculum, consult the Strickland School Handbook on the Enrollment page .
