Here’s a candid shot of 1st grade and grammar school principal, Mr. Vermillion, being “surprised by wonder” during recess as good ol’ Texas fire ants devoured a dead bug. The enchantment of education is by no means limited to the classroom!

Drama is simply rhetoric in poetic form. Through dramatic narrations of great books, our teachers are able to both capture the attention and foster the imagination of our curious students. Here’s our beloved Mrs. Chapman reading to her 1st graders about how the vikings discovered America before Columbus!

Our Logic and Rhetoric School got the chance to go to Escapology in Tyler to kick off the new school year. The Houses split up and were each placed into rooms with secret passages to solve various complicated mysteries. With only one hour and cryptic clues, the Houses had to work closely together to find a way to escape. While several groups only had seconds to go before they were locked in there forever (not really), all of our students were able to successfully escape!

A hallmark of our Writing II course is the sharpening of the persuasive skills of the student. Today, students applied some of the skills that they have learned by participating in a mock debate about uniforms.

The second grade students got a small taste of what a massive project the Tower of Babel must have been when they built their own miniature replica in their classroom. The class, with their teacher Miss Kendall DeKerlegand, has been reading and studying the early chapters of Genesis.

The class continued to learn about the story of the Towel of Babel when the Tower was knocked over.
