The Grammar stage is the foundation of all learning; it's the building block of all types of written and verbal expression. The Grammar stage is made up of primarily 3rd-5th grade.

The second stage is the dialectic stage which begins when children start to contest and argue. Students usually enter this stage in 6th-8th grade

The Rhetoric Stage is where children take the knowledge they've learned at the Grammar and Logic Stages and learn how to solve difficult problems, become self-aware, and express what they actually think through speech, papers or in groups. The Rhetoric stage is primarily made up of high school students from 9-12th grade.
