One aspect, among many, that sets the Trivium apart from other educational philosophies is the devotion it makes towards communication and language skills. Even at the early stages of the primary years are courses taught normally reserved for latter grades.
More specifically, Latin may be introduced anywhere from between K through 3rd grade. It is in these years that the child becomes acustomed to the basic parts of speech found in the Latin language. Each year the child continues to build on this knowledge until the Rhetoric stage and capable of reading primary texts such as Virgil and Cicero.
