Fourth Grade Overview
Acellus Academy’s fourth grade curriculum dives deeper into concepts that students learn while also broadening the scope of topics and subjects covered. Our goal is to create a learning environment that spurs excitement and curiosity around school, not only in fourth grade but the years to follow.
Our fourth grade curriculum focuses on the four core subjects: language arts and reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. We also encourage students to enroll in one of the five electives available to elementary school students.

Subjects Offered in Acellus Academy’s Online 4th Grade Program
We work with highly qualified educators to create courses that are appropriately challenging and on par with public and private school systems. Acellus Academy courses have several key learning objectives and outcomes to ensure students are hitting certain milestones. The following are the course objectives for the core subjects Acellus Academy students will take in fourth grade.
- Language Arts and Reading: In Grade 4 Language Arts and Reading, students further develop their literary skills by focusing on various types of writing, such as personal narratives, persuasive essays, and fantasy stories. Students also gain more in-depth knowledge of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and vocabulary.
- Mathematics: Acellus Academy’s fourth grade level math course reiterates many concepts students learn in third grade and teaches them to apply these concepts to more complex problems. Students learn multi-digit multiplication and division, fractions, classification of geometric figures, and much more.
- Science: Learning about life, earth, and physical science helps us better interact with the world around us. Grade 4 Science focuses on habitats, ecosystems, geography, technology, physics, and natural resources as well as introduces major human body systems. This course uses lab videos that demonstrate these topics to the students, allowing them to see these concepts in action.
- Social Studies: Our fourth grade social studies course focuses on the United States and covers landforms, climates, maps, political concepts, the Constitution, and citizens’ responsibilities. The course studies influential people in U.S. history and modern culture as well.

Vectored Instruction®
Filling Foundational Gaps for Student Success
As students are progressing through a course, sometimes they lack the foundational skills needed to successfully complete the material. If students are stuck, Acellus analyzes which foundational concepts they need to review in order to master the grade level concepts they are struggling with. Vectored Instruction is then prescribed to fill in those gaps, going as deep as required to rebuild their foundational understanding, allowing them to move forward in their education.
