The Classical Homeschooling Method
This method of education capitalizes on the three stages a person's brain thinks.
- Stage 1: Young children tend to think about things using concrete ideas and forms.
- Stage 2: As children get older, they begin to integrate their thoughts and synthesize their learning.
- Stage 3: In the teenage years, children begin to think deeply and abstractly.
The Classical Method uses the Trivium teach according to the stage the brain is at naturally. The Trivium consists of:
- The Grammar Stage: Children focus on the tools of learning. They learn how to write and use grammar correctly.
- The Logic Stage: Children deepen their knowledge. Debating is introduced as a way to synthesize what they've learned.
- The Rhetoric Stage: Children become independent thinkers. They learn about persuasive and loving ways to express their opinions.
