Jodi's session We teach using the classical learning method. The classical learning method teaches students how to learn and how to think. What makes classical education so effective? It is largely because of its approach to how and when students are taught. Regardless of their learning style, young people learn in three phases or stages (grammar, logic or dialectic, and rhetoric), known as the trivium. Young people will be told when they are ready to study for Advanced Maths.
