Each grade covers a number of artists and composers.
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.
