In the School of Logic, students continue to advance in skill areas and to accumulate knowledge; however, more focus is placed on developing analytical thinking skills and the capacity for abstract thought. The logic stage is also known as the “dialectic” stage because there is more of a give-and-take conversation between students and instructors. Instructors will build upon the Socratic method of guided questions to help students learn to reason, develop conclusions, and discover relationships between fields of knowledge.
