Oak Hill Christian School is a Christian private school located in Reston, Virginia. Oak Hill was established in 1997 and offers classes in every grade pre-K through 12.
Oak Hill as a member of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools and utilizes the classical teaching method.
Classical Education
The classical teaching method uses the Trivium teaching Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric as tools useful to students in their quest for knowledge, wisdom and maturity. The Trivium can be specified as follows:
- Grammar: The fundamental rules of each subject.
- Logic: The ordered relationship of particulars in each subject.
- Rhetoric: How the grammar and logic of each subject may be clearly expressed.
Dorothy Sayers noted in "The Lost Tools of Learning" [1] that child development can be linked to to the Trivium as follows:
- The Grammar Stage (K-6)
- The Logic Stage (6-9)
- The Rhetoric stage (9-12)
A more detailed discussion may be found at in The Lost Tools Chart .
In the Grammar stage, students are taught the core foundations of each subject (facts). Teaching here includes singing, drilling, chanting, and recitation. In the Logic stage, students are taught how to analyze, reason, question, evaluate, and critique. In the Rhetoric stage, students learn how to express what they know and what they are learning. Debate, apologetics, speech, essay writing, and drama are typically emphasized during this stage. This methodology is described in Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning. [2]
