Dialectic Bridge

6th through 8th Grade

The Dialectic Bridge program invites learners to build upon their foundation of knowledge while beginning to grow in the early skills of rhetoric. Bridge classes guide students through writing, science, history, the Great Books (literature), logic, philosophy, and foreign language helping them connect ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and prepare for the stage ahead. 


  • Classes meet Mondays from 8:30 AM - 2:30 PM
  •  At the instructor’s recommendation, some classes may also meet on Thursdays from 9:00 - Noon to allow for deeper study and discussion. 
  • All classes are 75 minutes long
  • All classes follow the Sabbath Block schedule with 4 weeks of instruction and one week of Sabbath rest for a total of 30 weeks of instruction
  • Thursday Enrichment Options: Foreign Language Clubs, Field Trips and Special Projects
  • Each Monday we'll start our day with Family Worship - an opportunity for all of our families and classes to center our hearts on God and devote the day to Him
