Fortis Grammar students have a tradition of having a classical book exchange at the Christmas party. If you would like your child to participate, please send a wrapped new or gently used classical book. You may want to specify if the book would appeal more to boys or girls, but that's not necessary. Here’s a list of classical books if you’d like some ideas.

          

Discipleship: 

Objective:  Experience the joy of the Lord which comes from spending time in His presence.

Start your homeschool day with prayer and Bible reading. 

In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:1-2, 14
