✅ What Makes the School Unique?

TAG is defined by its commitment to the classical model and its integrated Christian worldview:

• Classical Model (The Trivium): The curriculum follows the three stages of the Trivium: Grammar (K–6, foundational facts and memorization), Logic/Dialectic (7–8, critical thinking and reasoned argument), and Rhetoric (9–12, eloquent expression and defense of truth).

• Biblical Worldview Integration: The Christian faith is integrated into all academic disciplines (history, science, literature, and philosophy), demonstrating the unity of all truth in Christ. Students participate in daily prayer and Chapel.

• Socratic Teaching: Instruction uses the Socratic method (questioning and discussion) extensively, particularly in the upper grades, to train students in critical thinking, analysis, and articulate defense of ideas.

• Core Academic Focus: Emphasizes traditional liberal arts, including Latin and Greek (classical languages) starting early, Logic (formal and informal), and the study of the Great Books of Western Civilization.

• Small Community: The intimate K–12 size fosters a strong, supportive community where faculty serve as mentors, and the culture is unified by shared Christian faith and academic goals.

• Student Outcomes: Known for producing graduates who are articulate, logical thinkers, and prepared for success at selective colleges and universities.
