Backed by two generations of experience in home education, veteran home educators Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise outline the classical pattern of education called the trivium, which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child’s mind and comprises three stages: the elementary school “grammar stage,” when the building blocks of information are absorbed through memorization and rules the middle school “logic stage,” in which the student begins to think more analytically and the high-school “rhetoric stage,” where the student learns to write and speak with force and originality. ![]()
