Homeschool dad & founder of About Time

A time-tested model that moves a child through three stages — grammar, logic, and rhetoric — known together as the trivium.

In the grammar stage young children build a foundation of facts and memory work; in the logic stage they learn to reason and argue; in the rhetoric stage they learn to express ideas with clarity. It's often paired with history studied in chronological cycles, and in some programs, Latin.
