Jr. High level develops Logic

Academics in grades 6-8 (and into grade 9) represent the classical "logic stage" of learning development.

Grades 6, 7, and 8 

In these early secondary years, students are on campus Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. 

  • Already equipped with much knowledge from the preceding grammar level, learners move from facts and inquisitiveness about what they see to a stage in which it is quite natural to want to know "why."
     
  • No longer satisfied to take things just on face value, they are becoming their own persons, blossoming into thinkers and questioners.
     
  • Learning focuses upon making application of knowledge and making connections between facts.
     
  • Students are exercised in thinking skills, pointed discussion and debate, and defending answers.
     
  • In addition to Bible, art, and both academic personal presentation skills, pupils study Formal Logic and Latin.
     
  • To educate holistically, students share community with high school students in general spaces, assemblies, and in student life activities, arts, and athletics.
