Logic 7-9th Grade (Tuesdays & Thursdays)
In classical education the Logic stage is where students discover why certain facts exist as certainties. They want to know the “why” of something—the logic behind it. They learn to critically think through ideas and arguments, and begin to develop skills to argue with wisdom and eloquence. The goal in this stage is to teach students how to formulate good questions, sort information, draw comparisons and contrasts, and how to collect, process, and apply the knowledge they have previously acquired in the grammar stage.
Rhetoric 9-12th Grade (Mondays & Wednesdays)
We know that students in the Rhetoric stage naturally become independent thinkers and communicators. The foundational skills from the grammar stage and the analytical skills from the logic stage come together and form a spring board of learning potential. Students study and practice rhetoric skills that develop and grow the art of persuasive speaking and effective writing. This not only pleases and delights the listener, but also will serve the student well when they communicate with others in life, academia, and work beyond Summit. The goal in this stage is to equip and train students to solve problems and defend their ideas and processes through writing, speech, or conversation.
