The Secondary School Curriculum...
Building on the significant foundation of knowledge established in the elementary years, during the middle school years teachers emphasize the logic and reason of each of the disciplines exploring the rationale behind each academic discipline. Included in the curriculum for middle school is three years of formal logic – a specific discipline to train students to integrate reason and logic into other disciplines. Middle Schoolers’ tendency to press their own opinions and engage in debate provides fertile ground for teaching them “formal” methods of debate and reasoning.
In the high school years, students must give evidence of their mastery of each subject by learning to present information in a compelling and persuasive manner both in writing and orally – which are emphasized. The “success” of the student’s education is measured by their ability to synthesize and integrate all they have learned in a clear, concise, precise and comprehensive manner incorporating each academic discipline as part of a whole. Below is our curriculum for the secondary program.
