Kolbecast

AMDG. In this episode, we bring back a style of podcast we haven’t done in a little while: a deep dive into part of Kolbe’s curriculum. We focus on classical composition with instructors Sarah Foulkes and Grace Berg, who explain how classical composition is a curriculum which seeks to educate students to think logically and develop rhetorical skills for both writing and speaking; how the middle school years when classical comp is offered are sometimes forgotten but full of opportunity; and how boys in particular respond well to the structure and toolbox that classical comp provides.

Kolbecast episodes mentioned & relevant:

• 81 The When and the How of Online Elementary
• 61 Middle Ground

Check out this article in the Kolbe Help Center for more information about Kolbe’s curriculum, including classical composition.
