Rhetoric (10-12)

Rhetoric students want to talk, so we teach them how to present their ideas persuasively. At this stage, students learn confidence, eloquence, and grace as they enjoy the final stage of our process.  As they explore the Great Ideas, mathematics, and science, they will also be equipped in sound doctrine and apologetics.  The culmination of the process is a senior thesis, which seniors must defend before a panel of faculty members.
