UPPER SCHOOL

9th-12th

At Coram Deo Classical School, the 9th-12th grade years represent the culmination of the classical education journey, known as the “Rhetoric Stage.” During this period, students focus on mastering the art of persuasive communication, both in writing and speech, applying their knowledge to complex subjects across the humanities, sciences, and the arts. Critical thinking, analysis, and synthesis of ideas are emphasized as students engage in deeper exploration of philosophy, theology, literature, and history, always within a biblical framework that reinforces a Christ-centered worldview. With small class sizes promoting close mentorship, students are challenged to defend their beliefs, articulate their ideas with clarity, and engage in thoughtful, respectful debate. Character development and leadership are central, preparing students not only for academic success in college but also to be thoughtful, responsible, and faithful individuals in their communities and future careers. These high school years are designed to equip students with the intellectual and spiritual tools needed for lifelong learning and discipleship.
