Classical Christian Education

Classical Christian education is an approach to learning that emphasizes biblical teachings, focuses on the classical liberal arts, and progresses through rigorous curriculum that compliments the natural way children grow and process information. It incorporates a teaching model from the classical education movement known as the Trivium, consisting of three parts:

Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric

Grammar

Kindergarten through 5th Grade

The student learns the basic skills of reading, writing, and mathematics. Children K - 5th grades are naturally good at memorization, and the grammar stage takes full advantage of this fact. This forms the foundation from which all other subjects can be approached.

End Result:

Student becomes knowledgeable.

Logic

6th through 8th Grade

The student studies formal logic and argumentation. Students 6th - 8th grades have a natural argumentative tendency, which if properly channeled, will enable children to think and draw their own conclusions based on facts.

End Result:

Student becomes a thinker.

Rhetoric

9th through 12th Grade

The student learns how to give expression to thoughts. In the high school years, self-expression is very important. The student who is classically trained will be able to communicate their thoughts with eloquence and clarity.

End Result:

Student becomes articulate.
