Longmont Colorado- There are many choices available for charter schools in Longmont, Colorado, however for parents looking to provide their children with a classical education, Twin Peaks Charter Academy is not only the best charter school in Longmont, CO, but they are also the only ones who provide a classical education in the school district.

Twin Peaks Charter Academy explain what exactly a ‘Classical Education’ program in on the website http://twinpeakscharter.org/classical-education/

According to the site, the idea behind this type of education can best be described as The concept of the trivium, or the three ways describe the natural learning stages of children as they mature. The end goal is to develop a knowledgeable, thinking and articulate student with a well-formed mind. The three stages of the trivium are grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

Perhaps the most impressive component of the trivium is the grammar stage; where students begin learning Latin in elementary school. According to the staff at Twin Peaks Charter Academy, “Latin is an integral component of a classical education. At Twin Peaks Charter Academy we expose students to Latin in the very early elementary ages and we also have Latin classes in 4th and 5th grades. In Middle School, we begin teaching Latin I and Latin II.

The next phase is logic; where Middle School students begin to think in the abstract and begin developing and testing hypotheses, writing thesis statements, and using numbers to orient themselves in the concepts of algebra and geometry. And finally rhetoric; where students learn the art of communication as well as persuading others, which makes up the art of rhetoric. Using facts and developing the skills to arrange facts into arguments prepares the student to communicate their ideas to others.

The concept of Classical Education is gaining in popularity, however, Twin Peaks Charter Academy is proud to be the only Longmont Highschool offering the Classical Education Program in the school district.
