​
Classes meet one to three times a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:20-2:30. See below for options. Teens may take which ever classes they choose, however, if there is a gap between classes, they must either leave campus OR mentor younger kids. This is a great opportunity for them to learn leadership skills!

Each offering is chosen to enhance the education of teens. This is an exceptional way for the youth to get to enjoy the benefits of homeschooling and have a community of Christian friends to do life with.

Mentor - Mr. Chris
Argument for Creation (11+)
In the world we live today so much is based on the concept of Evolution as a factual origin story for the World and Universe. But what do we really know about this theory? Is it as fool proof and provable as it is claimed in media, movies, and school curriculum's, or is it just another story developed to replace the Creation story presented in the Bible. This class will offer an overview and look at the evidence both have to offer and teach students to critically think to know what they believe and why they believe what they believe. They will learn how to dig deeper when presented with popular narratives that claim to hold all the answers
Mentor - Mr. Ean

Theology (11+)
Christianity is not just an idea, it's what makes us who we are. Every choice and question in life is ruled by our morality and values that come from our faith. The basis of true faith is understanding why we believe what we do. Its more than faith, its action, and lasting faith is built on a strong foundation of understanding what we believe and why. In this course we will study the truth in God's word, what it means to be a Christian, and what Christ taught us about how we should live. We will seek to understand the true nature of God, and how that relates to the nature of man. Questions and answers are encouraged through Biblical study and application. We will use a Biblical, Philosophical, and Christ centered approach to understanding Theology, Apologetics, and what it means to be a Christian. "Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict" (Titus 1:9 NKJV).
