Tapestry of Grace I stumbled across this site and plan to research it further this summer. From the site: "Tapestry of Grace is a plan that teaches each historical era to all grades simultaneously but at their own levels, vastly simplifying the parent-teacher's job while strengthening her ability to teach. Using components of Classical Education, resources are arranged for "learning levels" stages - not ages. Thus each Year-Plan mentors teachers in instructing Grammar, Dialectic and Rhetoric Level students."
