Does seem like a good order. Grammar, logic, rhetoric. I'd say teach maths right alongside though. And basic physical sciences. You could order both concordantly: building blocks and elementals, leading to the interrelational, and on to the theoretical where you must make and prove your case.
And a year or two into logic, throw in a curveball: Civics.

Grammar school - we teach and memorizes lots n lots of facts.
middle school - we teach logic.
high school - we teach oral and written rhetoric.
Dorothy Sayers has a great essay about this.
I'd google it, but that too seems like science fiction.
Why thank you Jen. New one on me.
