The
Theseus Learning System is an exciting new way to develop higher-order
thinking skills. Firmly rooted in the disciplines of logic and rhetoric, Theseus
is an excellent way to enrich a classical homeschool education. Instead of
emphasizing facts and trusting that thinking skills will somehow develop
(studies indicate that this indirect approach rarely works), TLS is designed
from the ground up to directly strengthen essential habits of mind.
It works like this. The colorful, activity-filled
Lesson Book shows how to break down complex thinking tasks into simple,
familiar steps. Meanwhile, your
Theseus software helps you visualize logical relationships and ask the right
questions, so you can build compelling lines of thought quickly and easily. The
visual reinforcement helps you see arguments the way skilled thinkers do, so
critical thinking skills develop MUCH more rapidly.

The visual approach to thinking instruction has
been shown to dramatically improve reasoning skills. One study demonstrated that
an entire college education's worth of critical thinking skills can be acquired
in just a few short months! (van Gelder, 2001) TLS is the first complete
learning package that builds on this exciting finding.
TLS is easy to integrate into the rest of your
curriculum, too. Let it turn your existing course material into a stimulating
mental workout!
