School of Rhetoric

The third phase of the classical trivium, the “Rhetoric Stage,” builds on the first two.  High school students will learn to write and speak with confidence and originality. They learn to apply the rules of logic to the basic information learned in the early grades.  By graduation students will be able to express conclusions in clear, forceful, elegant language. Students will start to specialize in branches of knowledge that interest them.  Specialized training in those areas may begin.
