*Logic 1 may be taken in the 8th grade, but we have found that students often benefit from waiting until 9th grade for this course. Fundamentals of Research & Presentation is a good option for those who want “pre-logic” or “pre-rhetoric” opportunities and are not yet ready for the challenges of formal logic.
