Logic School

In classical education the Logic stage is where students discover why certain facts exist as certainties. They want to know the “why” of something—the logic behind it.  At ToFA, we teach our students to dissect and take apart information and begin to critically think through ideas and arguments in all subject areas. They learn reasoning, informal and formal Logic, and begin to develop skills to argue with wisdom and eloquence. The goal in this stage is to teach students how to formulate good questions, sort information, draw comparisons and contrasts, and how to collect, process, and apply the knowledge they have previously acquired in the grammar stage. Courses include Pre-Alg, Alg I, English, Science, Latin, History, and Bible. Logic students are on campus 3 days a week, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and complete home day work on Wednesdays and Fridays, but do have the option to be on campus on Wednesdays for guided tutoring and assistance with their home day work.

The Parental Role

In the Logic stage, parents will transition out of a co-teacher role and become a Guide for Dependent learning on Wednesdays and Fridays. The classroom teacher provides detailed plans and instructions for students to follow.  Responsibilities of the parent on home days include:


 

  • Guiding the student in setting a home day schedule for themselves

  • Monitoring student’s schedule and progress throughout the home day

  • Providing encouragement, coaching, and tools to assist the student in developing personal academic responsibility

  • Checking work for completion, quality, and correctness when necessary and/or requested by the campus teacher

  • Being available to assist student with projects and research

  • Continuing to disciple and be a role model in living for Christ
