DIALECTIC & RHETORIC

In the dialectic and rhetoric stages, students move beyond memorization to think critically, reason clearly, and communicate persuasively. As they progress through middle and high school, they learn to analyze ideas, construct logical arguments, and express their thoughts with clarity and grace—both in writing and in speech. These stages cultivate wisdom and eloquence, preparing students to engage the world by thinking deeply, living courageously, and serving faithfully.
