052: What's going on in Grammar School? with Abby Mayall

The Horizon Prep Lioncast: Classical Education in San Diego and Rancho Santa Fe, California

Abby Mayall is the Director of the School of Grammar at Horizon Prep and she joins us this week to talk about what has happened so far this year in Kindergarten through 5th Grade.

The Grammar grades have been busy, and still have a lot to do before the end of the school year.

Abby also talks about the Classical Education model that is the basis of Horizon Prep’s educational philosophy, and what that really means. She talks about the three schools that make up the Classical model at Horizon Prep. The School of Grammar is from Kindergarten through 5th Grade, the School of Logic is 6th through 8th Grade, and the School of Rhetoric is from 9th through 12th Grade. You can remember the order of the schools by remembering they are in alphabetical order: Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric.

Although she hasn’t been on in a while, Abby is a fairly frequent guest on the podcast. You can hear more from her on Episodes 1, 10, and 23. She also pops in on random episodes once in a while, like on Episode 13. That’s what they call an “uncredited cameo”.
