About Proclaim School

"Bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." — Ephesians 6:4

As a part of the mission of Proclaim Church, Proclaim School exists to glorify God by proclaiming and applying all of God's word to all of life. We believe that God has given parents the duty to bring up their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, which includes an education that is aimed toward these ends.

We currently meet on Thursdays during the school year and run classes on a semester-long basis. Our Abecedarian class is for ages 2-4, otherwise, we enroll grades K-12 with age restrictions on classes where applicable. We currently function similarly to a co-op program in that we do not offer a full academic schedule.

The 3 Cs of Proclaim School

To help parents meet the duties outlined in Scripture, three guiding principles drive what we do.

Collaborative

Parents have the primary responsibility to ensure that their children are educated toward the goal of Godly lives. We believe that many parents think providing an education centered on Christian truth feels unattainable. Proclaim School is not seeking to take away this duty, but to support parents in this duty by providing classes to make that duty more accessible through good instruction and affordable lower cost than many private alternatives.

Classical

We believe the best way to provide a good education that orients students toward the discipline and instruction of the Lord is to utilize Classical Methods of teaching. The classical method views education in three stages: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. The ultimate goal is that a student will learn how to learn. By the time they have mastered the three phases of the classical method they will be well prepared to go from knowing nothing about a given subject to being able to think critically and speak persuasively about it.

Christian

The cornerstone of the 3Cs of Proclaim School is that the education of children must be distinctively Christian. Education is simply the tool utilized by parents to prepare their children to live as godly offspring, holy and pleasing to the Lord. If their education is not serving this purpose, then what purpose does it serve other than a purpose contrary to it?

Because it is collaborative, it is a support to the attempts of parents to take seriously their Christian duty to train up a child. Because it is both Christian and Classical, the method has a purpose. We do not simply aim to teach students to learn how to go from facts to persuasive opinions generically, we pray that they would learn the facts and argumentation to persuasively present godly opinions and allow them to apply more of God's word to more of life for His glory.

The Classical Model Basics

The Trivium: Three stages of learning that correspond to a child's natural development

01

Grammar Stage

Learning the facts about something. An example would be the names and dates of events and people in history. Students commonly use rote repetition and song for memorization techniques.

02

Logic Stage

Learning the arguments about something. To continue the history example, the student would now begin to examine the causes and effects of the events in history, having already established the facts. Opinions are formed based on logical argumentation and ethical considerations from a biblical foundation.

03

Rhetoric Stage

Applying arguments persuasively. Students now take the facts, the logic, and the opinions and begin to apply the tools of rhetoric and persuasion to make a defense of their opinions.
