Language Arts - Students will continue a focus on English grammar by analyzing sentences. They will also progress in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and English usage guidelines using the literary passages presented in Spelling Wisdom, Book 3  and the guided discovery lessons in Using Language Well, Book 3, Student Book. The first half of these books is completed this year; the rest will be covered in grade 8. Rubrics and further instructions are provided in the Using Language Well, Book 3, Teacher Guide & Answer Key.  (Optional plans are included for those who want more in-depth grammar study using Analytical Grammar.) 

Latin - A gentle introduction to Latin is begun with lessons just twice a week. The first half of the book, Getting Started with Latin by William E. Linney, is completed this year; the rest will be covered in grade 8.

Personal Development - Students will begin to read, narrate, and discuss Self-Knowledge (Ourselves, Book 1) by Charlotte Mason. We recommend the Youth Edition, which is divided into individual readings with side notes, points to narrate and discuss, and exam questions.  The first half of the book is completed this year and the second half in grade 8.

Science - In grade 7, science lessons become more in-depth and should be completed individually. The use of a conversational textbook is recommended this year, such as Exploring Creation with General Science. The lesson plans will reflect narration options, as well as include an optional living science book on Blaise Pascal, who is mentioned in the course of study. Journaling a Year in Nature is recommended for nature study.

Math - Lessons include reminders to work on your choice of math curriculum.
