Here's another couuntry http://www.wikiwand.com/en/St._Louis_School,_Claremont,_West... Until the mid-1960s, the year grades were named after levels in the traditional Jesuit curriculum: Elements, Rudiments, Grammar (I and II)3rd reverse this order, Syntax (I and II)reverse this order, Poetry and Rhetoric. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 mins (2017-06-03 17:50:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- this is from page 11 of the Belvedere handbook ( a school still very popular and which retains these names) www.belvederecollege.ie/files/FINAL_HANDBOOK_2016.pdf YEAR AND CLASS NAMES The primary aim of Jesuit education is to create the vir eloquens – literally eloquent man who is able to think and speak for himself. Thus the classes in a Jesuit College are named after the stages in the learning of a classical language, e.g. Latin. Following the tradition of Jesuit educational institutions around the world, each year group is assigned a name based on the Renaissance Jesuit tradition. 1st Year – Elements, the basics of the language 2nd Year – Rudiments, enhancing the basics 3rd Year – Grammar, the grammar of the language 4th Year – Syntax, the word order of the language 5th Year – Poetry, the literature of the language 6th Year – Rhetoric, public speaking There are six classes in each year and each is given individual names: Loyola (St Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits), Aylmer, (Fr Charles Aylmer SJ, founder & first Rector of Belvedere College SJ) Xavier (St Francis Xavier, co-founder of the Society of Jesus and patron of Belvedere College SJ).Kenney (Fr Peter Kenney SJ, superior of the restored Jesuits in Ireland & provincial when Belvedere was founded), Finlay (Fr Thomas Finlay SJ, a prolific writer and second Rector of Belvedere College SJ, and Scully (Fr Thomas Scully SJ, teacher of Physics at Belvedere College SJ with a long association with SVP. The Scully Science medal is awarded every year in his name) Each class group retains its name, so a boy in first year, Elements Scully (ES), will graduate in sixth year in Rhetoric Scully (RS).

This is page 9 of their pdf handbook: msmcollege.com/download/101 MOUNT TERMINOLOGY There are a number of terms or words that are used at the College that reflect the history and heritage we cherish. The following is a very brief guide to some of the most common names and phrases you may come across: Our Year Groups Upper Elements 11-12 year olds (Year 7) Figures 12-13 year olds (Year 8) Rudiments 13-14 year olds (Year 9) Grammar 14-15 year olds (Year 10) Syntax 15-16 year olds (Year 11) Poetry 16-17 year olds (Year 12 – Lower Sixth) Rhetoric 17-18 year olds (Year 13 – Upper Sixth) ... THE STRUCTURE OF THE COLLEGE The College is divided into three sections, the Lower School, the Middle School and Higher Line. The year groups at Mount St Mary’s are known as lines. Lower School Upper Elements Year 7 Figures Year 8 Rudiments Year 9 Middle School Grammar Year 10 Syntax Year 11 Higher Line Poetry Year 12 (VIth Form) Rhetoric Year 13 These names have their origin in the earliest days of Jesuit education in the sixteenth century when the Jesuit founder, Ignatius of Loyola, adopted a system of education common in the universities of Europe at the time. These names may seem old fashioned to us today, but they do serve to remind us of the long-standing Jesuit tradition of education of which we are proud to be a part. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days35 mins (2017-06-06 17:41:15 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad to have helped |
