Grades 7th and 8th, now begin to develop their own sense of being and search "behind the scenes" to learn more about subjects. They are curious to discover "why" and they enjoy debating. Teachers gently guide this tender age to compare Biblical and World views to increase the student's understanding of our responsibility to answer God's calling and serve His purpose. The classical methodology encourages critical thinking, exploring logic, and learning how to evaluate the subject at hand to form an opinion based on knowledge. Core academics are stressed equally with the discovery of the visual arts to encourage students to "find themselves" and their talents. The Dialectic stage prepares students for the rigor demanded in the Rhetoric stage of studies.
