Middle School (6-8)

Today’s children, including Morning Star Academy students, are up against a culture that is relentless in its promotion of unbiblical ideas.  We believe a good place to begin “inoculating” students against unbiblical thinking is the middle school years, 6th through 8th grade.

As a classical Christian school, Morning Star Academy uses the classical model of education, The Trivium, and applies it to the students’ educational stages of development.  The classical Christian Trivium can be traced back to the early church.

The Logic stage of the Trivium roughly corresponds to students in grades 6-8.  During the logic stage, Morning Star Academy equips students with the thinking and reasoning skills to help them understand the relationship between the facts mastered in the grammar stage.  All students take a logic class where they learn the laws of logic and apply their thinking skills to identify bad arguments and construct good arguments.
