The Regents curriculum is loosely based on a classical education model called the Trivium. The Trivium is composed of three stages: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. Each corresponds to a stage in child development. Grammar school comprises kindergarten through 6th grade. School of Logic is grades 7 and 8. School of Rhetoric is grades 9 to 12. In the Grammar stage Regents students are taught the building blocks for future subjects, including phonics, Latin, grammar, and math facts. In the Logic stage, when a child would naturally become more argumentative, Regents students learn Formal Logic. In the final stage, Rhetoric, students learn Classical Rhetoric. Their Classical Christian Approach states: Classical education is an ancient Western approach to the process of growing children into knowledgeable, well-rounded, thoughtful adult citizens by means of the Trivium. Latin for “the three ways,” the Trivium forms the core of classical education, as represented by the names of our three schools: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. While all students approach new material using this framework, the school names represent the unique emphasis of the developmental stage of the child. Classical education works because it focuses on the way children learn best at each stage of life, then builds on the foundation of previous stages. Whether you are a parent looking at the Grammar years or a student preparing to enter into high school, know that we see our success not measured by where a student is after a single year, or even as a high school graduate: if we help you become a good man or woman speaking well, it will be evident in the life you live in the years and decades after you earn a Regents diploma. The goal is for Regents teachers to model discipleship principles and instill them into the hearts and minds of the students.
