BECOME AN EXPERT KINGDOM BUILDER
In our time, it has become common to hear people doubt the value of studying the liberal arts. However, a proper foundation in the liberal arts remains the primary way to form leaders and others preparing for civic, business, church, and educational leadership. We offer such a foundation through our Classical Christian Studies graduate program. Take up the tools of culture by studying the great works of the past that built civilization, including works of history, literature, philosophy, and language. These are the elements that made classical education in the past, and these are the elements that we need to build the kingdom today.
Tools of Culture
You can’t give what you don’t have. Learn the tools that will build the kingdom: take up your sword in your hand, dig in with your shovel, and practice making culture. Learn to navigate complex texts, explore profound ideas, and formulate thoughts in a classical language.
Study with Skilled Scholars
By far, the value of our program lies in the quality of our faculty. They are experienced, classically minded, and biblically faithful. Work closely with master craftsmen as you learn how to build culture together. Work both online and in person with our low-residency program.
The Building Plans
Read challenging authors like Aquinas and Chaucer. Gain the deeper knowledge that you need to build culture now. Hoist your shovel and get blisters on your hands. Creating a culture requires wisdom and hard work. This program propels students into a mature appreciation for the liberal arts and humanities.
All Courses
Our quality courses set us apart. Our expert faculty take a personalized approach, so you get their intelligence and face to face guidance.
Summer Residency
The summer residency is a favorite aspect of the program. It’s when all the students and faculty come together for a week of intensive courses and deep fellowship.
