Rhetoric Stage
9-12th grade
The Rhetoric stage (ages 15-18) engages students in artfully expressing their own ideas about the knowledge base they have come to understand through the science of logical and well-ordered thought and discourse. Students are given opportunities to develop and perfect these skills through a curriculum that enriches the maths, sciences, and historical literary studies through a study of rhetoric, apologetics, and ethics. This methodology prepares students to engage in abstract thought and exploration. The culmination of the Rhetoric stage is the point at which students in Twelfth grade are cognitively able to synthesize the scope of their content studies and apply effective analytical principles as they navigate the obtuse world beyond the classroom.
