This book will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school. The authors outline the classical pattern of education, the trivium, which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind: the elementary school ''grammar stage,'' the middle school ''logic stage,'' and the high school ''rhetoric stage.'' Using the trivium as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects.
