Each session grants 0.5 credit. Two sessions will grant 1 full credit. To advance to another course, students must take both sessions. Rising Sophomores taking this class to make room for an elective must take both sessions.  Tuition is $200 per session. Speech and Rhetoric 1-2 – is available to rising sophomores, who want to create room in their schedule for other electives, or students with credit deficiencies. The class is offered on a first come-first serve basis and is an accelerated course, and both sessions must be taken to create room in a student’s schedule.  The course is about the nature and power of the word in speech, writing, and even thought.  This course introduces the student to the basics of the other two elements of the medieval trivium--the arts of language:  Logic and Rhetoric. Considerable time will also be given to practicing memorization and public recitation.  Students will become more discerning readers, more precise thinkers, and more effective communicators. This is a required course for all sophomores but can be taken in summer before sophomore year. Space is limited. Grade Level:  Current 9th-10th
