The School is based on a classical model of education. A classical model focuses on providing students with the life long educational tools to learn and think for themselves. The classical tradition is grounded in the time-tested methodology of learning called the 鈥淭rivium鈥�, which recognizes that critical learning skills must precede critical thinking skills. The Trivium methodology is organized into the following three stages corresponding to the general stages of a student鈥檚 cognitive development: Grammar. The first phase of the Trivium is Grammar (grade level K - 4). Grammar emphasizes the facts and rules of each subject that later learning is built upon. This stage focuses on the accumulation of knowledge and the rules related to each particular subject. This mirrors the stage of development where children love to mimic, recite, chant, and memorize. The objective of this phase is to provide each student with a strong foundation of subject matter KNOWLEDGE. Logic. The second phase is Logic (grade level 5 - 8). Logic focuses on a students鈥� ability to analyze and interact with the knowledge acquired in the Grammar stage. The Logic stage is the phase where understanding is grasped. This corresponds with the student鈥檚 curiosity and desire to ask questions. The objective of the Logic phase is UNDERSTANDING. Rhetoric. The final phase is Rhetoric (grade level 9 - 12). Rhetoric teaches a student how to express and discuss a subject. Rhetoric is the communication stage, where students defend and refute opinions based on their understanding and knowledge of subject matter. This fits nicely with the students鈥� affinity for contradiction and argumentation. The objective of the Rhetoric phase is COMMUNICATION.
