The focus of Core Knowledge is to expand cultural literacy leaving room for classroom creativity for both the teacher and students. "In each grade students will be exposed to a broad range of historical, scientific, and cultural topics that will build on one another to prepare them for later educational success. This wide array of subject matter will not only develop cultural literacy but also will build the strong vocabulary necessary for true reading comprehension" (Core Knowledge Parent Brochure).
