Our Philosophy of Education

As a classical school Regents strives to develop the skills or disciplines that are part of our nature as image bearers of God.  The ancients summed each of these with a single word: Trivium. The word Trivium literally means the coming together of three paths or three streams. The three paths of education are grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Grammar means the ability to symbolize our thoughts, logic is the ability to think our thoughts correctly, and rhetoric is the ability to express our thoughts persuasively. Thus, in each of the disciplines of study we walk our students down each of these paths (i.e. we teach them the skills of grammar, logic, and rhetoric) to the point where they have the discipline to bring a subject together into something good, beautiful, and true.
