There’s no better time to firm up the basics

Until only a few hundred years ago, secondary education consisted of two branches of learning – the quadrivium and the trivium .

1. While the quadrivium, or higher branch, consisted of the study of:

• Music
• Astronomy
• Arithmetic
• Geometry

2. The trivium, or lower branch consisted of the study of:

• Grammar and languages
• Logic
• Rhetoric

A certain expertise in the quadrivium was a necessary prerequisite for entrance into a university where an individual could devote himself to the study of Music, Astronomy, Architecture, Mathematics, Philosophy, the Natural Sciences or Medicine.

But the trivium was considered a measure of a man’s aspirations and ambition. Indeed, those who wished to serve the state, the church, business guilds, maritime trade, or generally become a success in society, were encouraged to focus on skills that would serve them well throughout their careers. The trivium prepared the individual to be:

• Disciplined
• Knowledgeable
• Articulate
• Thoughtful
• Strategic
• Successful

In like fashion, ALSOWISE^® seeks to prepare the individual to be fluent in English, the global language of business and academics, in order to:

1. Acquire knowledge beyond the classroom through reading
2. Form logical arguments with ease
3. Communicate skilfully and effectively

These generalist skills may be invaluable in an increasingly competitive world in which non-commodified competencies will become the only discriminants of achievement and success.
