Becoming young adults made in God's imageThe Logic School years are wonderful as so much growth happens in the hearts and minds of students. They are becoming young adults, and we consider it a privilege to walk with them in this season. Our Logic School team aims to create a classroom environment where students see themselves, and each other, as God sees them – image-bearers capable of everything He has planned and prepared for them.
As a Classical school, these years will be focused on developing critical thinking skills, asking great questions, and reasoning wisely. When asked, the Logic teachers cited these defining characteristics of their classrooms: love, joy, laughter, community, fun, respect, exploration, collaboration, discussion, cooperation, appreciation. |

Learning Foundations
As a Classical and Christian school, we are committed to the idea that all knowledge is unified. Everything is indeed connected, because God created all of it for His glory! That said, it is helpful to think about our academics in their specific subject areas. Below, by subject, you will find a brief description of the content and skills addressed in the Logic years.

Parent's Role
In Logic School, the parent's role shifts from co-teacher, as in Grammar School, to becoming less hands-on. At this stage, students are developing disciplined study habits—not through parental enforcement, but through positive reinforcement and an increasing awareness of personal responsibility. Parents still review lesson plans, help with time management, provide support when needed, and check assignments for concept comprehension and completion. For the class to succeed, teachers rely on parents to ensure students stay on track with assignments and to communicate any challenges that may arise.
