Story & Expression
Meaning is made, not found. We study the tools humans use to shape reality through narrative, symbol, and persuasion—then practice wielding them ourselves.
Historical Context
The classical trivium began with grammar, logic, and rhetoric—the arts of clear thinking and persuasive speech. From Homer's epics to Athenian tragedy, the Greeks understood that stories don't just entertain; they teach, they heal, and they shape civilizations. Medieval scholars studied rhetoric alongside theology. Renaissance humanists returned to classical texts to rediscover the power of eloquence. This school revives that tradition, recognizing that in every age, those who master language and narrative shape the future.
Why It Matters Today
In an era of AI-generated content, algorithmic feeds, and infinite information, the ability to craft meaning—not just consume it—is more critical than ever. Persuasion happens every day: in marketing, in politics, in the stories we tell ourselves. Understanding how narratives work, why certain rhetoric moves us, and what design choices communicate makes you immune to manipulation and powerful in creation. If AI can generate text, humans must become masters of meaning.
Who This Is For
If you've ever wondered why some stories stick while others fade, why certain speeches move crowds, or how a single image can communicate what paragraphs cannot—this school is for you. It's for writers, designers, marketers, teachers, and anyone who wants to wield language and symbol with intention rather than accident.
