We put you in the driver’s seat of your child’s education.

Classical Christian education integrates the traditional framework of classical learning with a distinctly Christian worldview, organized into three developmental phases: grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

In the grammar phase, which corresponds to the elementary years, students focus on acquiring foundational knowledge—such as scriptural passages, Latin vocabulary, and historical chronologies—through memorization and mnemonic techniques like songs and repetition. This stage emphasizes the accumulation of facts as a divine endowment, fostering an appreciation for learning as an act of stewardship within God’s creation.

Progressing to the logic phase, which corresponds to middle school years, students develop analytical skills, exploring the interrelationships among concepts and engaging in dialectical exercises, such as Socratic dialogue, to discern truth. This stage integrates biblical principles with academic disciplines, encouraging critical reasoning and the defense of faith.

In the subsequent rhetoric phase, which aligns with high school, students hone their expressive capabilities, crafting persuasive arguments and eloquent presentations that reflect both classical ideals and Christian virtues.

Throughout, classical Christian education aims to cultivate intellectual rigor, moral integrity, and a lifelong pursuit of wisdom, equipping students to engage the world as articulate ambassadors of their faith.

Claritas Curriculum

The Claritas Curriculum is a classical homeschool program designed for the grammar stage (K-6th grade), focusing on memory work to build a strong foundation of knowledge. It operates on a four-cycle structure, each covering 28 weeks, aligned with historical periods: Ancients, Medieval, Early Modern, and Modern. Subjects include scripture, hymns, English grammar, Latin, math, history, science, geography, and a timeline, often paired with resources like Story of the World for history. The curriculum emphasizes memorization through engaging tunes and integrates subjects around a historical framework. Optional resources, like the Fundamental Grammar series, provide thorough English grammar study, while tools like map booklets and handwriting sheets enhance learning. Developed by homeschooling parents, it’s flexible for individual or group use, offering a Christian perspective with materials like memory work guides, audio, and Cross Seven’s video subscriptions.

MasterPoint Trail Guide

The MasterPoint Trail Guide is a series of classical homeschool curriculum guides for grades 7-12, created by JJ Veale, a veteran homeschooling parent with a background in classical education. Each guide provides a 32-week roadmap, blending classical and Charlotte Mason methodologies, to help parents and students navigate junior high and high school education. The curriculum covers core subjects—mathematics, language, science, literature, history, and philosophy—using carefully selected resources like Memoria Press Latin, Novare Science, and classical literature (e.g., The Odyssey, Carry On, Mr. Bowditch). Designed for flexibility, it can be used at home or in community settings, requiring about 15-20 hours weekly. Separate guides are available for each grade (e.g., Climb 1 for 7th grade, Summit 2 for 12th), with additional books purchased separately.
