Course overview
In a world of confusing messages, teach your student to think clearly, reason biblically, and stand firm in truth. This hybrid course first lays a firm foundation in logic—learning to spot fallacies, build sound arguments, and love God with the mind. Students then step into the great questions of philosophy and worldview, evaluating ideas through Scripture and applying timeless tools to modern culture.
The year culminates in a joyful, in-depth study of C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, equipping students to articulate and defend the Christian faith with clarity, charity, and confidence. Weekly in-person classes feature lively Socratic discussion, logic drills, and creative projects (think “Fallacy Court” and philosophical debates). At-home work is purposeful and flexible, with parent discussion guides that turn big ideas into family conversations.
Perfect for the hybrid homeschool family: expert instruction + parental partnership + genuine community. No prior experience required—just a desire to grow in wisdom. Taught from a thoroughly biblical worldview that honors the Trivium and forms students in truth, goodness, and beauty.
