  • Lost Tools is presented by Veritas Christian Academy. Veritas is a private school with Classical Curriculums that are rooted in Christian Foundations and operate as a three-day University Model institution.

    This podcast is dedicated to exploring the foundations and praxis of Classical and Christian Education. It's main intention is to bridge an information gap existing in our current and potential families. Since Classical Education is something not wholly known by most, it is our desire to give our parents a robust understanding and insight into the "hows and whys" of our teaching methods. We feel it will be beneficial if our parents both know and support our methodologies. The podcast is led by two of our educators who are actually involved in the curriculum and day-to-day lectures. So, it is in fact a true behind the scenes look for our Veritas Community.

    Episode 9 Logic Part II - How We Teach Logic (Special Guest - Mr. Tomlinson
    2025/01/29
    Mr. Bianchet and Mr. Mullins deviate from Educational Philosophy for a moment and discuss Logic as a discipline with a special guest....Mr. JR Tomlinson! Mr. Tomlinson is a first-year teacher at Veritas that has graciously taken on the Logic program in the 7th and 8th grades (among other classes.) The three of them breakdown how logic is taught and viewed at Veritas. 

    Mr. Mullins plugs his Apologetic Primer book, Unabashedly Resolute: The Chasm (available on Amazon) that is taught at the Upper School, in both the Logic School and Rhetoric School. It is a book that is a guide for anyone to begin to learn the processes and language necessary for proper thinking.

    The proper thinking that is being taught and forged in our students is so important for their formation as a student, Christian, and human. Here at Veritas, we take Logic very seriously and have seen such good fruit over the last two years from the students engaging in this arduous process and mental crucible. Students who have a foundation in Logic are going to be prepared for and will flourish in the Rhetoric stage. Classical education is one that builds specifically on the last stage wherein the result is not necessarily a student prepared for college or a specific job, but prepared to be a fully formed human who can flourish in any aspect of adulthood.

  • Episode 8 Logic Part I: Introduction into Foundations and Aims of Logic School

    Episode 8 Logic Part I: Introduction into Foundations and Aims of Logic School
    2025/01/16
    Following the house analogy that Mr. Bianchet and Mr. Mullins presented for the Grammar School, in being the collection of material, the Logic School is focused on equipping the skills to plan and frame the rough construction. It is learning to assemble the bones and undergirding of what will become a beautiful dwelling place. If you've ever seen a house being built, they pour the foundation and then build what seems to be a stick house that has the shape and essence of a house but lacks the finished look. This is the same process required to build something linguistically. The construction workers must know how to create solid foundations, connect joints, secure headers, properly place load bearing walls, etc. to make sure that the house does not wind up a pile of busted lumber. We want to ensure that our students do not create ideas and thoughts that are so easily crushed by the heavy weight of critique and reality. Make no doubt, these proper construction techniques can only be acquired in the crucible of repetition and discipline; they must be forged not intuited.

    The Logic School is grades 6th through 8th, and it is where our students begin to hone English grammar skills, essay writing skills, and formal/informal logic skills. These are the proper tools required to make one a great orator who can both write and speak well. It is an extremely important part of the classical education because it is here that the student begins to be intentional about what they are doing and why.

  • Episode 7 Grammar Part II - Continuing Grammar School Foundations and Aims

    Episode 7 Grammar Part II - Continuing Grammar School Foundations and Aims
    2024/12/31
    We continue our journey today into Grammar School foundations and aims. Mr. Bianchet and Mr. Mullins begin by discussing pre-rational/ pre-classical stages of learning. This is achieved through exposure to classical literature (fables, fairy tales, and mythologies) and music. It allows students to be primed to recognize and accept Reason when it arrives in Logic School. It also, cultivates the desire for beauty and longing later in the student's life. This is especially helpful in the Rhetoric stage where the beautification and effectiveness of language are both taught and honed. This stage is much more difficult if the Grammar and Logic stages are lacking, both for the instructors and students.

    Our hosts then bring insight that may often be overlooked when one is gathering resources in a Grammar or Primary school; one must make sure the resources are of the best quality. Only quality resources will allow the students to build quality structures (intellectual frameworks) that can withstand the rigors and demands of life, academic or otherwise. Mr. Bianchet and Mr. Mullins weave a web of interconnectedness from the Three Little Pigs to Plato to Sherlock Holmes to Narnia to The Metalogicon by John of Salisbury, synthesizing the disciplines of Philosophy, Theology, and Literature to further prove their position.

    It cannot be overstated that the Grammar Stage of Education may well be the most important, yet most neglected in the formation of fully formed humans, Christians, and citizens.
