WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL and CHRISTIAN EDUCATION?

A Christian school is a school that upholds Christian philosophy. Philosophy being the love of wisdom. In this case the love of wisdom and application of God’s Word. A Christian education is an education that implements and teaches from a biblical worldview, instilling Godly principles and relating Godly principles to all aspects of life and all subject matter.

WHAT IS CLASSICAL EDUCATION?

Classical education is a method of teaching and learning literature, language, and history through the Liberal Arts divided into what is known as the Trivium. The classical approach, Trivium, is divided into three phases of learning: grammar, logic and rhetoric. Each of these three phases capitalizes on a student’s developmental stage and how well students fundamentally learn at each stage. The grammar phase is memorizing through songs, learning by heart and jingles, the dialectic phase questions the “why” of something, and the rhetoric phase is persuasive speaking and effective writing. Classical education typically begins in the 3rd grade; hence we serve as a precursor to a Classical Education.

TRIVIUM

The TRIVIUM is a method of teaching and learning that seeks after truth through the study of the Liberal Arts. It consists of three phases: grammar, dialectic and rhetoric. Broken into three phases, essentially, each stage teaches how to learn and learning how to think. It adopts an understanding of how the past informs the present through Liberal Arts.

Grammar/Input – Grades K-5 directs factual foundational knowledge; children naturally learn by heart; parroting, mirroring, singing/chanting, memorizing, recitation/drills, show and tell, and repetition. At this foundational stage everything may not be fully understood but the exposure is there and, most importantly, easily remembered.

Dialectic/Processing – Grades 6-8 directs processing knowledge; the correct application of knowledge; seeks understanding, naturally argumentative; thinks out loud, critical thinkers, puts grammar and vocabulary into practice expressively and creatively.

Rhetoric/Output – Grades 9-12 directs effective communication; passionate about current events, idealistic, critiques, debates, analyze critically, intuitively put the art of arguing one’s views persuasively.

AECA is an extension to the godly principles, morals and values that is displayed within the home.
