Logic School
6th - 8th Grade Curriculum
Even though most schools call these grades (6th-8th) Middle School, at Redeemer, we refer to it as Logic School, because the ability to engage in logical thinking dramatically increases at this age. That’s one of the reasons logic classes are introduced. Students apply their growing reasoning skills in all their subjects through Socratic circle discussions, research and writing, science labs and experiments, and other daily activities. In addition, PE, music, art, and common arts develop students’ aesthetic and physical skills to round out the curriculum.
