School of Logic (6-8)

Our School of Logic provides a smooth transition between the School of Grammar and the more advanced pace of the High School years.

As students progress to the logic stage (6th -8th grades), they learn to evaluate the basic knowledge they have acquired in each content area – focusing on critical and analytical thinking. They are asking the “how” and “why” questions as they try to understand the world and their role in it. We strive to help them see their purpose in Christ and His active role in all things. We provide students with a solid preparation of knowledge and skills to lead them toward success in High School.
