Overview of Course Sequence for Logic Levels
MATH:
Logic 1 – Course 1 Math; a 6th-grade level course. Students who do not test into this level OR who use a different math curriculum may study independently in Study Hall.
Logic 2 – Course 2 Math; a 7th-grade Pre-Algebra course. Students who do not test into this level OR who use a different curriculum may study independently in Study Hall.
Logic 3 – Course 3 Math, a Pre-Algebra course; or, Algebra 1. Some students go directly from Course 2, with some additional summer work, to Algebra 1 in Logic 3. This is an accelerated track. The traditional track of Pre-Algebra in Logic 3 followed by Algebra in Rhetoric 1 is also offered at MGA.
From Logic 3 and up, TWO math tracks are offered at each level.
SCIENCE:
Logic 1 – Human Body and Life Science
Logic 2 – Earth Science and Foundations in Design.
Logic 3 – Physical Science (pre-Chemistry, pre-Physics).
All science courses are aligned with Texas and National Science Standards.
HUMANITIES 1: History, Geography, and Literature (from or about the time period)
Logic 1 – Ancients to Middle Ages (5000 BC – 1200AD)
Logic 2 – Late Middle Ages to Early Modern Era (1200 – 1700)
Logic 3 – Modern Era and US History (1700 – present)
(See note below this year’s schedule for an explanation of History in 2012-13 year.)
HUMANITIES 2: Language Arts
Logic 1 – Writing – introduction to IEW Method; Grammar work at home.
Logic 2 – Writing – further development of writing skills using IEW approach and materials; Grammar work at home.
Logic 3 – Writing – final ‘polishing’ of essay-writing skills before Rhetoric levels. Grammar review at home if needed.

For the 2013-14 school year and subsequent years, the History sequence at MGA will be three-year study of all of History, within both the Logic and Rhetoric levels. However, the 2012-13 school year is a transition year to this three-year cycle, so the time periods studied are slightly different in order to insure that our current students complete the three-year study of all of History within both Logic and Rhetoric.
Parents will need to provide the following, as desired:
Language Arts – Additional Vocabulary/Spelling work
Fine Arts – music, art, drama/theatre
Sports
