The Classical School of the Medes schools draws from the classical educational model and uses an English-based curriculum for all subjects except for Kurdish, Arabic language classes, Komalayatiyakan, and Maffi Mrov classes. A classical education depends on a three-part process of training the mind. The early years of school are spent in absorbing facts, and systematically laying the foundations for advanced study. In the middle grades, students learn reasoning skills, or how to think through arguments. In the high school years, they learn to express themselves, integrating what they have learned into effective communication. However, a classical education is more than simply a pattern of learning. Classical education is language-focused; learning is accomplished through words, written, and spoken, rather than through images (pictures, videos, and television). A classical education, then, has two important aspects. It is language-focused, and it follows a specific three-part pattern: the mind must be first supplied with facts and images, then given the logical tools for the organization of facts, and finally equipped to express conclusions. The Classical School of the Medes seeks to equip students using this method with age-appropriate skills, knowledge, and virtues.
