WHAT IS CONNECT THE THOUGHTS™ ?
Connect The Thoughts™ (CTT) is a comprehensive home school curriculum for students, ages 9-adult.
We offer 3-6 year complete programs in history , science , creative writing , various arts and other areas of study . We also offer 1-2 year-long limited programs. Individual courses may be purchased by a student interested in a particular area of study.
CTT is divided into LOWER SCHOOL for students ages 9-10 , and UPPER SCHOOL for students ages 11-adult . Students start with the first semester in either Upper or Lower School regardless of age or grade level , as the information presented is unique and cumulative.
Each area of study starts with the simplest information, and builds into complex, rich understandings.
In Science Basics, we begin with "what is observation". From this humble starter datum, which forces students to look and think for themselves, we work into advanced areas of science. For example, one of many tests in Upper School Physics covers Quantum Principle, Particle Physics, String Theory, Black Holes and Chaos Theory. 14 and 15 years olds regularly pass this test with 100% comprehension.
All the courses we offer in science and the arts, including creative writing, acting, and music, thoroughly cover their subjects in the same "from the ground-up" manner.
The second Upper School history course starts by defining what civilization is. It then teaches the student in detail, about historic civilizations in Sumeria, Egypt, The Middle East, India and China. A representative test on India asks the student detailed questions about Hinduism and Buddhism, India's geography and political history. 11-12 year olds regularly pass with flying colors, thanks to their good work and the innovative, effective methods employed in Connect The Thoughts courses.
All Connect The Thoughts history courses cover politics, religion, economics, geography, philosophy, culture, science, and art as aspects of history.
- Once studied, through carefully designed tests, we locate exactly which materials the student mastered, and which need to be restudied. We test in CTT to discover what needs to be restudied to perfect the student's understanding. We then quickly work students up to 100% comprehension of the materials.
