Logic Level Classes

Logic Levels – What Grade are they Equivalent to?

Logic 1 – generally comparable to 6th grade

Logic 2 – generally comparable to 7th grade

Logic 3 – generally comparable to 8th grade

ANNOUNCEMENT:

TWO LOGIC-LEVEL programs will be available beginning with our 2013-14 school year.  We will have a Monday-Wednesday program that mirrors our Tuesday-Thursday program.  We cannot accommodate all the students who wish to enroll in our Tues-Thursday classes, hence the need for a second program.   Initially we will have Logic levels on Mon-Wed;  as those students matriculate into Rhetoric, we will be able to open a second Rhetoric program on Mon-Wed as well.  At present our Rhetoric classes are small and do not require a second program.

Parents of new students who do not have siblings in one of the other levels (Grammar or Rhetoric) will need to enroll in the Mon-Wed program, as space is very limited in Tues-Thurs program and almost at capacity with families who have children in Logic levels as well as Grammar or Rhetoric.  Email Leslie Kent for more information:  lesliekent.mgaoffices@gmail.com.
