What we focus on in Logic School

School of Logic (6th through 8th Grades)

‍Students in our School of Logic (6th - 8th Grades) are asking “why” questions in earnest. We harness this tendency by training students in the basics of logic and through Socratic discussion in the classroom.

‍As your child enters Upper School, we desire to provide an education that is interactive with conversation and rhetoric. Our desire is for our students to graduate ready to winsomely and graciously war for truth in their families, vocations, and churches.

‍An education where history is valued. As Christians, we know that God works throughout human history. We value the past for its witness to God’s character, for its wisdom, and as important for understanding who we are today. Our entire curriculum rotates through the history of the world three times, twice in Upper School.

‍An education where subjects are integrated. School classes are divided into specific subjects–math, literature, art, etc.–but reality is complicated and unified in a way these subject divisions don’t acknowledge. To help our students understand truth that cuts across subject divisions, we encourage integration as often as possible. Through our integrated humanities classes, students consider how the art, history, literature, theology, philosophy and scientific discoveries of a time period all affect one another.All Logic and Rhetoric students are placed in a House (our form of student government) and will have the opportunity to work together with each other and compete against other houses, while working toward excellence in academics, sports, local and international missions, and their relationship with Christ. They will also have speech meets, mock trials, and athletics as they begin maturing into God-honoring young adults.
