These are not hard and fast divisions, but rather gradual shifts.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Grammar stage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Roughly grades 1-4. Students learn facts and are exposed to great stories, poems, and works of art and music. Asks, \u201cWho, what, where, and when?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Logic (Dialectic) stage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Roughly grades 5-8. The literature gets longer; students begin to notice principles and relationships; students are taught to argue persuasively in both speaking and writing. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asks, \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Rhetoric stage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Roughly grades 9-12. Students are taught logic, articulation, and often will read the \u201cgreat books.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asks, \u201cHow?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Quadrivium (upper high school \/college level) tackles advanced mathematics, geometry, music, and astronomy (which really means all the sciences.)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Philosophy: Classical educational paradigms differ from those of standard educational paradigms. A classical education\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Purposefully seeks to cultivate wisdom and virtue, develop imagination, and foster true joy in learning.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Focuses more on the tools of learning than on the content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Considers that knowledge has a purpose unto itself, and is not acquired merely for practical purposes, while simultaneously recognizing the value of practical applications.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sees all knowledge as being interconnected.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Holds a very high view of the human person, always considering children to be fully human persons.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How it looks in the classroom:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Classical education usually\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is heavily word-centered, emphasizing reading, writing, recitation, and formal conversations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is often history-centered.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Usually includes Latin (or Greek) for development of a strong vocabulary and for logic study. Together, Latin and Greek root words account for about 80% of English words.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Includes narration, transcription, picture study, outdoor nature study, art, music, and opportunities to see and perform in theater.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaches formal Logic classes in middle to upper grades.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaches civil discourse directly, via structured conversations about the subject matter, through Socratic seminars.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reads whole unabridged books rather than basal readers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:
