💭What specific subjects or skills can I learn at Quadrivium Academy?

At Quadrivium Academy, our educational offerings are very diverse, driven both by our core academy program and the interests of our community. Here is an overview:

Academy-Driven Learning Opportunities

• Academy Core: The academy provides foundational studies through a variety of non-formal events, courses, and programs. We value the classical subjects from the Seven Liberal Arts, including dialectics, rhetoric, grammar, mathematics, physics, and music. However, our core academy curriculum is primarily centered on the Modernized Seven Liberal Arts (mSLA). This approach places a strong emphasis on universally applicable theoretical knowledge, methods, and practical approaches, adapting time-honored disciplines like dialectics to meet contemporary educational needs and challenges.

• Emphasis on Dialectics: Quadrivium Academy places a significant focus on dialectical thinking — an art, that teaches reasoned dialogue, critical thinking, and analysis with the ability to synthesize contrasting concepts. By integrating dialectics into our program, we encourage learners to not merely absorb information but to actively engage with, question, analyze, and synthesize knowledge, leading to a deeper and more meaningful educational experience.

• Personal Learning Path: At Quadrivium Academy, we believe that every learner's journey is unique. Our approach to education embraces this understanding by supporting Self-Directed Learning (SDL). SDL enables learners to delve deeply into areas that spark their personal interest, curiosity, and passion. From our side, we assist everyone in constructing their Personal Learning Path, a customized educational trajectory that aligns with individual goals, interests, and learning styles.

• Logos Oriented Framework: A significant part of our program is focused on teaching and elucidating the concept of Logos Oriented Education (LOE). We emphasize that LOE is a tool that helps individuals become independent and self-directed in their learning journey. By understanding and applying our framework, learners can effectively construct and organize their education, integrating various disciplines in a coherent and meaningful way. This approach is fundamental in helping learners develop the skills to think critically, analyze systematically, and approach learning as a lifelong, self-driven process.

Community-Driven Learning Opportunities

• Culture of Experience Exchange: Depending on our community interests and events, we may offer learning opportunities in sciences, arts, crafts, and any other practical skills. These can vary based on the expertise and contributions of the community members within the Culture of Experience Exchange.

• Educational Activities and Events: Our community-driven events often include workshops, and courses in fine arts, music, creative writing, and other disciplines, reflecting the various talents within our community.

• Holistic Education: Sports and physical education are included in our event lineup, promoting physical well-being as a part of holistic education.

• Spiritual and Ethical Studies: In alignment with our values, we explore ethical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions through academy and community-driven discussions or events.

It's important to note that while our core academy focuses on specific academic disciplines and the Logos Oriented Education, much of our additional learning content is shaped by the interests and expertise within our community, forming the Culture of Experience Exchange. This model allows us to embrace a wide range of subjects and to apply our educational philosophy in a variety of contexts.
