# What is the Modernized Seven Liberal Arts?

The Modernized Seven Liberal Arts (mSLA) at Quadrivium Academy is an updated version of the traditional liberal arts education. It adapts the classical model to meet modern needs while keeping its universal, interdisciplinary nature. 

Traditionally, the seven liberal arts were divided into two groups:

* **Trivium:** Focused on developing critical thinking and communication through dialectics, rhetoric, and grammar.
* **Quadrivium:** Focused on mathematical precision, creativity, and sciences through arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy.

mSLA reinterprets these classical stages to reify a [Logos Oriented Education](/logos-oriented-education/what-is-logos-oriented-education.md) model at [Quadrivium Academy](/general-information/what-is-quadrivium-academy.md):

1. **mSLA Trivium:** Now centered around the category of logos, focusing on meaning, discourse, and reason.
2. **mSLA Quadrivium:** Reimagined as tropos, focusing on methods, patterns, and ways or modes of being.

This approach extends the model of the traditional Seven Liberal Arts but maintains its precise original structure and universal approach. However, in contrast to the classic seven arts, mSLA is not confined by a limited set of disciplines ensuring a comprehensive holistic education and equipping students with specialized knowledge and the ability to apply universal principles interdisciplinarily.
