Classical Ski Education

Its the foundation that all other knowledge is built on. This is when theyre taught how to build a sound argument, and how to identify a fallacy. Finally, the Rhetoric Stage delivers the tools and practice needed to make those logical arguments and constructions palatable. Rhetoric helps us build the bare bones of an outlined argument into a compelling message. It transforms a logical syllogism into a speech.
