Students also participate weekly in art, music and drama. As students enter their argumentative teenage years and begin to develop abstract reasoning ability, the Regents School of Logic teaches them how to construct and critique arguments during a two-year course in formal logic. The chronological study of history concludes in 7th grade. In 8th grade, students study Texas history and world geography. In these courses, there is an increasing focus on the ideas behind the historical developments.
Students gain practice in realizing that ideas have consequences.
This carries over to language arts, both in the literature they read and discuss, and in the composition assignments. Students learn to analyze whatever they read for the author's worldview assumptions. Science in the School of Logic involves learning and applying the scientific method in both life and physical sciences. Study of underlying principles is supplemented by hands-on experimentation and field trips that expose them to the practical application of the principles. Continuing students complete their 5th and 6th years of Latin, while new students are enrolled in a two-year introductory Latin sequence.
