Our Program
A unique co-operative, hybrid model to support home learning. 
SNAC is split into an Upper School (6th -12th grade) which offers a drop-off program, and a Lower School (preschool - 5th grade) which runs on a co-operative model. We use the Orthodox Formation curriculum which is a classical, Charlotte Mason curriculum that was arranged by one of our moms. It consists of a Four Year Learning Cycle. We also use Memoria Press for Latin and some subjects in the Upper School.
