School of Logic

Grades 6–8

Equipping Students to Live Faithfully

During the School of Logic begin to connect the foundational facts and skills learned in the Grammar Stage and to discover relationships between them. As students move beyond the basic skills of reading, writing, math, history, and science, they have a framework to allow them to think critically and look for patterns and relationships in the areas of study.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday | 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Key School of Logic Outcomes

Through intentional study and parental engagement, we aim for School of Logic students to exhibit the following characteristics.

Deep Curiosity

We want our students to be curious and to ask questions because that is the key to learning. Instead of focusing on just acquiring facts and data, we highlight the complexity and wonder of God’s created order

Clear Communication

Training in biblical thinking helps students see the world in an accurate way, and they also need the ability to communicate clearly through speaking and writing.

Biblical Thinking

We consistently emphasize biblical thinking in all our programs, and it is especially important during the Grammar School stage as students begin transitioning to more independent study.

Core Subjects

Reading

In the School of Logic, students read not just to gain knowledge and learn facts but to interpret what they read according to biblical truth. Students engage in ethical discussion of stories, which develops critical thinking and character formation.

Writing

Writing study in the School of Logic emphasizes communicating coherently and meaningfully. Students learn to formulate thoughts and ideas and articulate them clearly in writing. As in the Grammar School, students in the Logic continue their handwriting practice.

Mathematics

Students progress from the fundamentals of Grammar School mathematics to more in-depth study of higher-level mathematics topics such as functions and equations, which help students to think systematically and logically.

Science

Students in the School of Logic are encouraged to be curious about why the world works the way that it does. Whereas the Grammar School focuses on facts (the what), the School of Logic focuses on making connections (the why).
