The Grammar Stage

Laying the foundation for all learning

In the Grammar stage (roughly ages 9โ€“11), children have a natural gift for memorization and love of facts, chants, and patterns. Classical education capitalizes on this window by having students absorb the foundational grammar of every subject โ€” the raw material upon which all later reasoning will be built.
