It is time, again, to celebrate with some achievement - the release of Fifth Grade Curriculum from HeroesMart Academy (HHA). The Heroesmart Academy Team has worked tirelessly to produce and release Godly Learners Fifth Grade (Grade-5) Curriculum as promised.

This Curriculum package was created with the same academic rigor and biblically moral fundamentals as previous grade years, while remaining age-appropriate with the use of vivid colors and tones to keep your child engaged. Our goal is to make private education attainable to the average family seeking shelter from the unknowns of public education and the high price tags of traditional private schools. At Heroesmart, you will find that you (the parent) are free to educate your student at your own leisure, on your own schedule, and at an affordable price.

This Bible-based curriculum is designed for students between ages 10-11 years old. Subjects covered at this level are as follows: Mathematics, English Language Arts, Bible Reading, Science & Technology, and Social Studies. Classes are 5-days a week over the course of 36 weeks (or 180 traditional school days). Remember, examinations are available to test your student’s knowledge at 9-week intervals (optional). Exit examinations are accessible for those wishing to test out of a grade level and receive a certificate of completion once all work is completed.

We invite you to reference the Grade-5 Go-Live article to review multiple options through which you may utilize the HHA model to homeschool your children.

Below you will see the end of year objectives for this grade year. Register your child today, and grow with us!
