Why Families Chose NCCA

The Classical Model of Education

New City follows the classical model of education, which is built upon three primary stages of learning known as the Trivium—a time-tested educational framework. We go “with the grain” of a student’s natural development, bringing methods and content which are aligned with those grades’ natural stages of development:

  1. Grammar Stage (K-6th) focuses on learning the foundational facts, rules, and core knowledge of each subject.

  2. Logic Stage (7th-9th) focuses on understanding the relationships between ideas, developing the ability to reason deeply and critically.

  3. Rhetoric Stage (10th-12th) focuses on communicating their foundational knowledge and understanding in a persuasive, clear, and wise way.

Combined, these three tools of learning (Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric) equip students to appreciate truth, goodness, and beauty as they grow in virtue, wisdom, and eloquence.
