A different approach to education that involves the whole child
Logos course work is a series of interrelated subjects where students will make connections between disciplines. In the grammar pods (K-6th), students are primarily tasked with gaining knowledge and developing a love of learning. During the logic stage (7th-8th), students shift their attention to making connections between subjects, developing the art of argument, and applying logic to their writing. Lastly, the rhetoric stage (9th-12th) directs the students' attention to acquiring the verbal and written skills necessary to express their knowledge and beliefs cogently and persuasively.
What does this actually look like?
Class Divisions

What about Extracurricular Activities?
Our Humanities coursework includes a study of music and arts appreciation. Specialized instruction in the arts, sports, and other fields should be considered outside our (shortened) school hours. Our school days end at 2:15pm which allows time for private art/music lessons, or participation in community sports, drama, etc.
