What is the trivium philosophy?
A guideline of classical education, called the trivium, can be used to design a classical homeschool curriculum. The trivium breaks the twelve years of education into three stages: grammar, logic or dialectic, and rhetoric. The three stages coincide with a child’s cognitive development as he or she matures. During each stage, the curriculum gives the child tools for learning while teaching to the child’s natural strengths. (For more information about the trivium, visit the CK Library, Tools for Parents-Classical Education.
