Students are required to take Latin, Logic and two years of formal Rhetoric as part of a strong liberal arts and sciences program. The integration of subjects is stressed. In high school, students are expected to form thoughtful opinions and clearly and persuasively articulate their views. Senior rhetoric students are required to write and defend a thesis before a panel of faculty and topic experts.
