Students start the day with leadership and discipleship training that equips them biblically, historically, and Constitutionally. We focus on virtue and self-government during this time. Required and recommended resources will be indicated here.
Required and recommended history resources are listed here. You will notice the addition of the biography of a missionary, heroic historical character, or true stories to make history come alive even if it doesn’t quite fit the time period. The Guide (tutor) will also have the discretion to add a book but will notify parents ahead of time. Guides will have training to conduct Socratic Discussions.
Recommended resources only: Some students are eager to trek further for a closer look into history. While these books are optional and will not be in the schedule, they are worth checking out especially if you have a strong reader or curious historian.
Required and recommended history resources are listed here. Literature resources listed here will be required for class. While it’s easier to follow along if the student has a hard copy, we encourage the parent to read aloud, or use audiobooks if necessary. We will be using Teaching the Classics by Center for Lit to train the Guides to facilitate the classes. It encourages Socratic discussion instead of laborious busywork. There will also be assignments or projects. Guides will have the discretion to add a book if time allows but will notify the parents ahead of time.
Recommended resources only: There are SO many delightful stories out there, it was hard to choose what we would cover in class! We couldn’t help but share some more books, some classics, some just for fun, for you and your child to read together. Somewhere in there will be a new favorite! These are optional recommendations, not required.
Freedom – Frontier: Books listed here indicate whether they are required or recommended. Additional Core 1 classes are included in Freedom-Frontier.
