• Curriculum: liberal arts, based on ancient Greek
model of education called the “Trivium” (three
stages: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric).

Switzerland, and Italy.

opportunity to begin again more intelligently.”

hinder my real life relationships with people. But, I
do use the following:

don’t have any prior knowledge of it

project
• To participate in class discussions

• To apply what I learn in the real world
• To give 100 percent 100% of the time
