Trivium Method

In 1947 Dorothy Sayers articulated the educational concept of the "Trivium", an educational model that had been used for centuries. When Douglas Wilson helped found Logos School in Moscow, Idaho during the 1980's, he revived this framework to bring about the rebirth of classical education. Presently, nearly 100 classical schools are operating in the United States, most of which use the "Trivium" to set their foundational educational philosophy.

The "Trivium" is simply a means of describing the learning stages of children as they mature. Parents often recognize the stages through which their children pass as they mature. The "Trivium" focuses on the educational method to best develop a knowledgeable, thinking, and articulate student. As the name implies, there are three stages represented in the "Trivium": Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric.
