Recitations

Taking advantage of the predilection of young children for mimicry and repetition, we provide the opportunity for our elementary students to commit to memory passages and poems of lasting value. Chosen from the best of the Western canon, the selections in Grades Four through Six correlate to the time periods being studied in history. The full Book of Recitations is available for review in the school office.

CCA students often use dress to enhance recitations.

The Lord's Prayer is one of several recitations learned each year in Kindergarten
