About
Classical Writing is a progymnasmata-based writing curriculum originally associated with the Bluedorn family's Trivium Pursuit work and later built out by Lene Mahler Jaqua and Kathy Weitz. The sequence begins with Aesop and Homer at the fable and narrative stages and advances through chreia, description, comparison, refutation and confirmation, and on to rhetorical exercises. Each level includes a core text plus student workbooks and instructor guides. The program is parent-intensive and classically rigorous, typically used by families committed to a full progymnasmata progression.
