About Our School Program
Morning Star Academy is focused on the time-tested method of teaching that works "with the grain." During the grammar years (grades K-5) the emphasis is upon providing students with the facts of each subject. Grammar school visitors will hear students chanting, singing, and reciting History facts, English grammar rules, and theology. The logic school (grades 6-8) shifts the emphasis from memorization to clear thinking. Logic students are trained to stand on their own two feet intellectually. They are asked not only the "what" of their subjects, but are expected to know the "why." Thus formal logic is a center-piece of their education. As students enter the rhetoric school (grades 9-12), the emphasis shifts to expression. The curriculum requires rhetoric school students to do a significant amount of writing and speaking through class discussion. The goal is that with a strong knowledge base and the ability to think clearly, they will be able to communicate persuasively on behalf of Jesus Christ in whatever their calling.
