Lutheran Classical Education is a three-part process of training the mind to think. The first step in the process is the grammar stage. It is based on absorbing facts and laying the foundation for all future learning. This stage begins in Kindergarten. The next step is the logic stage and is based on application of the facts to answer, “Why?” This stage usually begins in 4th Grade. In this stage children are concerned about the cause and effect and how it fits into a logical framework. The final step begins around the 7th or 8th grade. In this stage the first two stages are brought together to assist the child in applying the rules of logic to the foundation of facts learned and expressing a conclusion in a definitive manner. more...
Martin Luther, the Great 16th century Protestant Reformer, along with several of his peers of his time, were among the first to advocate the concept of Universal Education — education offered to a broader segment of the population that ever before. This education is based on the ancient Greek and Roman academies — teaching the seven liberal arts: grammar, logic, rhetoric, aesthetics, astronomy, mathematics and geometry. Today our subjects have new names, but the heritage and tradition of Lutheran Classical Education methods continue today.
Focusing primary on K-8, Lutheran parochial schools are the second largest private school system in the country, behind only Roman Catholic Schools.
