Grammar
The student learns the basic skills of reading, writing, and mathematics. Children K-5th grades are naturally good at memorization, and the grammar stage takes full advantage of this fact. This forms the foundation from which all other subjects can be approached.
End result:Student becomes knowledgeable.
Logic
The student studies formal logic and argumentation. Students 6th-8th grades have a natural argumentative tendency, which if properly channeled will enable children to think and draw their own conclusions based on facts.
End result: Student becomes a thinker.
Rhetoric
The student learns how to give expression to thoughts. In the high school years self-expression is very important. The student who is classically trained will be able to communicate their thoughts and eloquence and clarity.
End result:Student becomes articulate.
