I have been reading your blog for about a year now. It is such a blessing to me. I learn a lot about classical education from it. Now we are looking for a Latin christian school for our child. Your daughter's Latin school is so appealing to us. Would you give us some more information about the school? Thanks!
That's wonderful. Did you know that Providence is having an Open House this coming week? It'll be Jan 8th or Tuesday.
It was the outgrowth of a remarkable group of Bellevue area homeschooling families 10 years ago.
I will try to email you offlist to see what grade / grades you are looking into, etc. Our daughter will also probably be singing with her class on Tuesday, so if I know how to find you, I can talk with you then.
Hello again. I guess I don't know your email address, but please feel free to email us to ask us any specific questions you may have (drseide "at" neurolearning.com)
Providence's Open House is at 7 pm and I need to drop my daughter off at 6:30. The children sing from 7 to 7:30. An ideal time to talk would be 6:30 if that might work for you. We won't be staying long after 7:30 I think.
The different school grades are divided into Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. Music and Bible are integrated throughout the curriculum. The Grammar years are lots of fun with historical enactments, singing or chants to master basic facts of Latin, history, or grammar, and writing through imitation (progymnasmata). Science is taught within historical context, although covering all the essentials of fact mastery.
The Logic and Rhetoric years involve more analysis, comparison, and synthesis, and Rhetoric in particular emphasizes persuasion to prepare students for communicating their ideas to the world. The learning is not passive; it resembles more a tutorial system you might find in strong humanities programs in colleges, with discussion, practice providing evidence to support ideas.
There is also a lot of cooperation and love between students of different years - some of this because the school is blessed with some very large families that have siblings throughout the grade levels. It is wonderful to see, though because the young ones are inspired to be like the older ones, and the older ones learn to guide and protect the young. The culture of this K-12 school is truly a blessing.
Let me know if you have any other questions, and blessings to you in your search for the right school for your child.
