School of Logic
The Trinitas School of Logic includes grades 7-9 and corresponds to the logic or dialectic stage of the trivium. In the logic phase, the focus is on instilling in the student not only knowledge, but also understanding, putting together concepts and facts into relationships and learning the "why" of each subject. Students continue their Latin and begin study of formal logic in the 8th grade.
