The Core Knowledge Sequence is a detailed outline of specific content, aligned with the North Carolina State Standards. By offering a challenging back-to-basics approach to education, our targeted demographic will be able to spend time building that bank of knowledge and receiving the help they need along the way, whether it be a modified/scaffold down approach, after-school tutoring, or taking picture walks. The cross-curricular pedagogy with content alignment across disciplines brings strength to the curriculum. 

Tillery Charter Academy will support the Core Knowledge sequence with the Core Knowledge Language Arts Program, Core Knowledge Science, Core Knowledge HGCA (History, Geography, Civics & the Arts), and Go Math. Additional special classes in art, music, and physical education will also be offered.  Additionally, to support Tillery Charter Academy’s commitment to citizenship, TCA also has three core values, Courage, Respect and Spirit of Adventure that will be incorporated in the classroom and out in the community.

The Core Knowledge Language Arts Program is a specific K-3 curriculum, 4-5 curriculum and a middle school (6-8) curriculum.
