Students want to know the "Why"
In the Logic Stage, students want to know the “why” behind what they are learning and they begin to explore their capacity to reason. Students take the facts mastered in the Grammar Stage and learn how to organize and apply them, build cogent arguments, and challenge ideas in an open forum. In order to utilize these developing skills, students are expected to think logically and discuss actively in their classes, preparing them for deep and meaningful exploration in all subjects within a Christian world-view. The most important answer to the “why” question steers students to the ultimate Truth in the person of Jesus Christ. We seek to train students’ hearts and minds to love the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, emphasizing the love of God and the love of others as the answer to how students should live out each day.
