A CLASSICAL APPROACH

Western civilization was built and shaped from the Middle Ages through the nineteenth century by leaders who were educated in the classical tradition known as the Trivium. Heritage uses this three tiered-approach proven effective for centuries.

• Grammar stage: Students study the essential facts of a given subject

• Dialectic (logic) stage: Students study the ordered relationship between essential facts and the discipline of sound reasoning

• Rhetoric stage: Students learn to articulate their ideas clearly and persuasively in both oral and written form

The goal of this rigorous, academically rich educational training produces students able to learn independently, think critically, and communicate clearly.
