School Notes

  • Classical Education in Arcadia! Classical education focuses on the way a child develops and learns. The Grammar Stage (K-5th) involves learning the fundamentals of a language and how to use it properly. In this stage, young children enjoy memorizing facts and rules-thus the importance of repetition. The Logic Stage (6th-8th), otherwise known as the "pre-teen" years, is where we begin to see the age of questioning and want to know why things are the way they are. In this stage, we want to challenge our students in reasoning and critical thinking skills so they understand questions and make good arguments. This is the stage where the Socratic method is introduced. The Rhetoric Stage (9th-12th) tackles the third of the basic tools of learning: Rhetoric: How the grammar and logic of each subject may be clearly communicated. These disciplines have formed the platform for learning in every other discipline for more than 2,000 years. We believe that mastery of the English language in the manner prescribed by the liberal arts is crucial to successful learning and to the preparation of society's future leaders.
  • Our School of Rhetoric students have the opportunity for Guarantee Admission through Azusa Pacific University and Duel Credit courses through Colorado Christian University.
