Instructional Program Highlights
- Classical education model which depends on a 3-part process of training the mind.
- The first stage ("grammar stage") grades 1-4 are the years in which the building blocks for all other learning is laid. During a student's lower school years the focus is on learning facts: such as rules of phonics, spelling, vocabulary and mathematics.
- The second stage ("logic stage") grades 5-8 is when the student has the capacity for abstract thought. So in the M.S. students begin algebra, the study of logic and begin the application of logic to all academic subjects.
- The third and final stage ("rhetoric stage") builds on the first two. At this point the high school student learns to write and speak with force and originality.
