The 9th through 12th grade comprises the Wisdom stage of Scholé Christian Tradition (SCT), and it is the fruit and advancement of the Knowledge (PreK-4th grade) and Understanding (5th-8th grade) stages.
The Wisdom stage centers around the art of rhetoric in addition to advanced learning. It culminates in:
The Wisdom curriculum has been developed and curated to serve the students’ growth in wisdom.
Wisdom is not merely about the head but about the heart and hands as well.
The goal of SCT is that its graduates would be men and women of wisdom and virtue with broad knowledge, deep understanding, and advanced skills in thinking, writing, and speaking.
This stage includes explicit theological education in each of its four years.
Both OT & NT Survey provide an overview of the entire Bible. They also serve as introductions to biblical interpretation, biblical theology, and Bible study methods. History of Western Thought and Systematic Theology crown the theological education of SCT, providing a breadth and depth to the students’ knowledge of God and his relation to all things.
SCT values history and believes that the best way to understand a time in history is to read the literature of that time, and, whenever possible, to read it in the original language. The four years of the Wisdom stage cycle through a curriculum in Tradition.
Each year of Tradition’s 4-year rotation focuses on different historical-cultural worldviews. Tradition includes history, literature, composition, and Latin.
These courses are devoted to the guided reading of the world’s best literature. Some of those works are listed below.
Epic Poetry | Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Chaucer, Spenser, Milton
Great Plays | Aeschylus, Sophocles, Shakespeare
Classical Philosophy | Plato, Aristotle
Patristics | Athanasius, Augustine
Medieval Theology | Boethius, Anselm, Aquinas
Reformation Theology | Luther, Calvin
Christian Classics | Bunyan, Edwards, Lewis, Tolkien
American Literature | Hawthorne, Twain, Lee
Saxon Math has consistently been one of homeschoolers’ top choices when it comes to math curriculum. Saxon’s incremental spiral-approach teaches students information in small amounts, and continually repeats concepts to keep newly acquired skills fresh and active. This incremental approach to math provides a learning structure proven to advance students steadily and assuredly to higher levels of understanding, increasing retention of knowledge to the level of mastery.
We offer the following science classes.
More information will be added on these subjects at a later time.
