The trivium

The trivium is an educational framework consisting of three foundational skills: grammar, which involves understanding and mastering the basics of language and facts; logic, the ability to think critically, analyze arguments, and reason effectively; and rhetoric, the skill to communicate ideas clearly and persuasively. Together, these stages develop a person's ability to learn, think critically, and express themselves confidently. The trivium offers a systematic way to build knowledge and reasoning skills, serving as a core approach in classical education aimed at nurturing well-rounded, thoughtful individuals.
