THE TRIVIUM

GRAMMAR

LOGIC or DIALETIC

RHETORIC

The grammar stage teaches raw facts to children through memorization, rote learning, and books. At this age, children love to learn plain facts, even though they don’t know the implications of them or all about them. In this phase, we teach children Latin so they can have a more holistic understanding of words and the origins of those words. Educators may also encourage children to learn an additional Romantic language at this point alongside Latin.

The logic or dialectic stage is when we teach children how to understand the facts they learned in the grammar stage. Here we continue the study of Latin which aids them in defining their terms. We also introduce them to debating techniques so they can make a point logically.

The rhetoric stage is the last stage and high-school-aged students learn to present facts and logically-formed arguments in a persuasive and winsome manner.
