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.

MGA Logic Levels SCHEDULE

2012 – 2013

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
