Trivium - Grammar Stage

Grammar Stage - Kindergarten through 6th Grade

During the "Grammar" stage, children are particularly adept at memorization. Young children learn songs, rhymes, and recite facts with relative ease. Because young children are so eager to memorize, they will make up nonsensical playground rhymes, therefore, we challenge them by providing substantial subject matter for them to memorize.

Each subject has it's own grammar. In science, children memorize facts about nature. In math, children memorize times tables. In Latin, teachers emphasize vocabulary. Throughout each year in grammar school, classically educated children learn the factual foundation of each subject. We use songs, chants, and rhymes to help children enjoy the learning experience.
