This program of study enables students to work through two classes each of the four primary genres of great literature: Epics, Novels, Drama, Poetry. By the completion of these courses, students will be practiced in Socratic pedagogy, able to ask great questions from the core texts that shape western literature.
This certification course is designed to walk students through the essentials of what it means to teach classically, and specifically what this looks like at the elementary level. We will explore each element of the classical curriculum and discuss how they can be implemented with younger students to facilitate a hunger to learn and appreciation for the good, the true, and the beautiful, creating a springboard for the rest of their education.
The certification in the History of Western Civilization is designed to equip all students with the major figures, events, ideas, and themes of western civilization, stretching from antiquity through modernity.

Graduates of this program will have systematically progressed through large swaths of Lewis’s corpus, and be prepared to lead discussions of Lewis’s work in light of current Lewisian scholarship.
This is what certification graduates say…
“As someone completely new to the Classical Education world, this course gave me a really solid foundation as to what Classical Education can be. Our instructor is welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. He guides the conversation so that we can learn from other lecture participants but then the instructor will fill in the gaps and take the learning one level deeper. This helped gather a more profound understanding and appreciation of the texts and concepts covered in this class. 10/10 would recommend.”

“As a classical educator, this program has encouraged and inspired me to grow in my understanding of the enduring norms that have guided humanity for generations. Most recently, the reading for the class studying human nature stretched both my understanding of classical education and gave me fodder for practical classroom application.”

“The program has been a great blessing to me -- affordable, accessible, and manageable! I began my first course with a very limited understanding of the classical texts and philosophers, yet I was still able to fully participate and learn. The reading selections are challenging yet approachable, and our instructor is a fantastic course facilitator. He asks thoughtful questions that invite his students to think deeply and to synthesize what they have learned. I am leaving my first course with a much better grasp on the subject matter and with more curiosity and eagerness than before!”
