Classical Christian schools teach according to the stages of learning, recovering the tools of the Trivium, which are neglected in our current culture. But we also need to acknowledge that the stages of developmental growth are just as important. As we bring children into a school environment at a very young age—something never intended by our classical predecessors—we need to understand that those small bodies in grammar classrooms are still doing some major development. How do we expand our classical understanding to include the stages and tools of growth? How does the body work together with the brain to encourage learning? For example, the muscles of the eyes and the finesse of equilibrium give us the coordinated capacity to read across the page, and one study reported increased reading proficiency by 70% with the use of motor exercises. This presentation will introduce the systems of the body, how they develop, and how they are foundational to our children experiencing a rewarding education.
