Our Teaching Methodology

We provide live, online instruction that fits your student's educational plan. Our courses develop your student's critical thinking skills through real-world interactions.
Our time-tested methods teach your student to express ideas clearly and to engage thoughtfully with the world. Our teaching methods are based on the three-part classical pattern of training the mind, called the trivium.

Training the Mind

Students begin their studies by learning the foundations of a subject.
Image

Questioning and Argumentation

Questioning and argumentation (logic skills) follow.
Image

Self-Expression

Finally, students are taught how to express their own ideas about their subjects.
At the heart of our curriculum is our mandate to teach students how to learn, so that they may leave WTMA with the motivation to pursue knowledge their whole lives.
