"During the Scholar years...the young person begins a rigorous, disciplined survey of classic works and real life application."
"Although each person is different and each education should therefore be personalized, there are also some basics that we should all learn...Our place in history and cycles of society...history, science, mathematics, literature...writing, public speaking, business planning, using technology...principles of freedom and prosperity and the type of civilization and culture that perpetuates them..."
Peer involvement and interaction are not only desired by the student, but also desirable for his progress through Scholar Phase. Group discussions of classic works and review of original works by the students are invaluable in expanding the young scholar's horizons."
"The Scholar is still a work in progress and frequent interaction with and accountability to the parent, teacher, and/or mentor are imperative. He still needs nurture and affection as a child, and respect and responsibility as an adult."
