classical homeschooling

Classical homeschooling is an educational approach that emphasizes a structured, traditional curriculum rooted in the history of Western thought. It typically follows a three-stage model: the "grammar" stage (elementary years) focused on building foundational skills and knowledge; the "dialectic" or "logic" stage (middle school) encouraging critical thinking and reasoning; and the "rhetoric" stage (high school) where students learn to express ideas effectively. The method integrates classical literature, history, languages, and sciences, fostering not only academic knowledge but also virtues like discipline and inquisitiveness, aiming to develop well-rounded, thoughtful individuals.
