The curriculum during the elementary years works to apply the Trivium of grammar, logic and rhetoric in age-appropriate ways. Our elementary curriculum concentrates on the development of memory and language skills while teaching all subjects. Students in the elementary grades study English, Latin, the Bible, history/geography, science, mathematics, and literature.
All students also participate in classes in art, music and P.E. throughout their elementary years. We consider these areas of study as critical to the development of the whole person.
Students in the seventh and eighth grades continue developing their understanding of subjects while beginning to apply the principles of logic across the curriculum. In eighth grade, they take a separate class in logic to further their foundation in this core skill. Music and studio art continue for all students in seventh and eighth grades.
Many opportunities to grow in rhetorical skills are provided to students as they develop their confidence to write well and communicate before an audience. All students will also take Latin through their eighth-grade year. In high school our instructional focus shifts to rhetoric, by which we mean the clear and persuasive expression of ideas. The classroom curriculum itself is organized around three schools: Humane Letters, Math and Sciences, and Arts and Languages.
