Logic & Rhetoric School
7-12 Grade
Providence School of Tifton added its Upper School in August 2021, beginning with Class 7. Classes 7 through 12 build upon the knowledge acquired during the grammar school stage and lay the foundation for excellence in developing graceful, winsome arguments for our Creator.
What else is a better fit for these eager to argue (in the best way) rising adults? They seek to learn the “how” and “why” of the information they learned in grammar school. At this time they continue building upon the Latin they learned in the early years and are introduced to Greek, which will be used in rhetoric school (Classes 10 – 12).
- Students in our School of Logic (C7 – C9) are asking “why” questions in earnest. We harness this tendency by training students in the basics of logic and through Socratic discussion in the classroom.
- Students in our School of Rhetoric (C10 – C12) practice articulating their own ideas winsomely and persuasively. This happens in every class through Socratic discussion, class presentations, written papers, and speeches. Students’ education culminates in thesis projects
As your child enters Upper School, we desire to provide an education that is interactive with conversation and rhetoric. Our desire is for our students to graduate ready to winsomely and graciously war for truth in their families, vocations, and churches.
