The State of Alabama does not have any grade level requirements for church schoolers; however, I have had many ask me what their child should be learning each year. There are many different schools of thought on this subject, but for those who would like to have a concrete curriculum scope and sequence, here are a few sites you can visit. I hope this information helps!
FYI: As your child's primary educator, it is up to you determine the grade level which you teach your child. I am not a fan of grade level thinking. I believe that children can learn on many different grade levels at one time. You should teach your child at the level and the speed in which he/she is capable.
