Our Approach
Classical Trivium
Heritage follows the classical trivium, a teaching methodology that aligns with a child’s cognitive development. The Grammar stage focuses on memorization in the early years, the Dialectic stage cultivates analytical and critical thinking in middle school, and the Rhetoric stage develops abstract thinking and articulate expression. This approach equips students with the knowledge and skills to form a Biblical worldview and confidently engage with the world.
