In her 1947 essay, “The Lost Tools of Learning,” Dorothy Sayers agreed with her friend, C. S. Lewis who wrote, “We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. There is nothing progressive about being pig-headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world it’s pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistake. We’re on the wrong road. And if that is so we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on.”

A classical curriculum is the time-tested Liberal Arts curriculum. As a result, we teach the Trivium, the liberal arts of grammar, logic, and rhetoric which develop the practical skills students need for every subject and for all of life.

In Grammar School, students learn the facts of knowledge.

In Logic School, students develop the skill of argumentation by learning the “why” behind those facts.

In Rhetoric School, students develop the skill of expressing what they have learned with wisdom and eloquence.
