This sort of thinking goes beyond bare facts to that of logic. That is why we begin including studies in formal logic, but also why every class seeks to bring forth the argument of the subject at hand. Debate is taught and then used as a commonplace technique in the classroom. The abstract is highlighted. This does mean that when our methods change, and the classroom opens up for more student interaction with the teacher that subjects will be discussed that were previously not a part of the classroom.
Theology is approached much more from a systematic approach than from straight reading of the text.
Life issues, morality, ethics and the like will be frequent topics of discussion. It is our expectation that most students will already be discussing these things at home with their parents and we view the classroom simply as an extension of this training ground. The student is taught and expected to conduct all discussion along Christian concepts of kindness and tact. The point of this method is not indoctrination, such as may have been the case in Grammar school. It is not so much who wins the debate as what is learned in the debate and how the debate is conducted that matters.
