Transformational Classical Model

Scholars in this model are educated in the precepts of a true and thorough classical education. Scholars study the beginnings of western civilization, the importance of the Greeks and their contributions to Society as well as the relationship between the Greek and Roman civilizations and the founding of America. All scholars will be educated in the written and spoken word with classical curriculum in classroom settings. Rhetoric, Constitution, Logic, and Bible classes round out the classical curriculum. Throughout the learning process a scholar is expected to advocate for themselves and their education. Any concepts that are not fully understood need to be brought to the attention of the  mentor by the scholar.

The Transformational Classical Model © employs this rigorous curriculum to master standards, while empowering scholars to build their knowledge base in such a way as to become a profitable member of society by being a critical thinker and to discover his or her God given gifts and talents. Scholars are expected to take personal and academic risks to understand and challenge their own personal abilities. The Grammar, Logic, and Rhetorical stages of the trivium and quadrivium are preserved through the study of classical literature, cursive writing, and unadulterated history.
