School of Rhetoric 

The Trinitas School of Rhetoric includes grades 10-12 and corresponds to the rhetoric stage of the trivium. In the rhetoric phase, students synthesize the knowledge and understanding gained in the grammar phase and analyzed in the logic phase. The focus is on the digestion and expression of information. Students continue their studies in Omnibus and Logic and begin the study of Greek as well as both theoretical and

applied Rhetoric.


The Omnibus class combines history, literature, and theology into an integrated whole, studying chronologically through the great books of the Western tradition in grades 10-12. The focus is on reading the primary texts and not just books about the texts, building into the students a Christian worldview. Students spend class time sitting on a semi-circular sofa reading aloud and analyzing literature.
