Memoria Press’ science program has two goals prior to high school science. First, we teach students the world of nature by studying the things its makeup—birds, insects, trees, mammals, and the heavenly bodies. Second, students also learn a narrative account of the development of the sciences—they learn science in a story form, in a way they can best understand it. They are then ready to study high school science using the excellent Novare Science Series. Check out all that Memoria Press has to offer with science here.
Novare advocates a paradigm for teaching science that has proven to be a true game changer for student academic achievement: Wonder, Integration, and Mastery. These principles flow from a robust Kingdom Perspective and also form the core of the Novare philosophy.
