2023 Workshop Talk | 1:05:48 | 7-12, Rhetoric & Composition
Summary
ACCS as an organization sees the value of 9-12 grade in a classical Christian school. However, building a rhetoric school at a classical Chrisian school is fraught with challenges. Taking Dr. Smalley’s applied research, Smalley will share the principles learned and share the ways to ensure that your classical Christian school not only completes the trivium, but that your school parents and students understand the incredible value of a rhetoric school education.
