"What I love most about Classicus Curriculum is that it is founded in Theology. I have seen a tremendous transformation in my Medius students this year as they have wrestled with the fundamental issues of our faith. We start each day with our Bibles out and we keep them out and refer to them throughout the rest of our community day. We have grown closer as a class, because there is now dedicated time to spend in prayer for one another and discuss deep Biblical topics. Classicus has been the answer to my question of how to make God truly the unmistakable focus and center of my student's education."

-April, Classicus Medius leader and Speech & Debate Tournament Director

"Classicus engages my family in the classical tradition, yet in addition, it helps us maintain our commitment to speech and debate. We hold a high priority on learning to speak well for Christ, and Classicus Curriculum reinforces that priority. We love the structure and heart of Classicus."     

- Nicole, Classicus Medius leader and speech & debate club director

"There is so much to appreciate about this classical curriculum. Personally, I’m especially drawn to the emphasis on Theology and Apologetics areas that foster a deeper understanding of our faith. For my children, I believe upper-level education should begin with a strong foundation in these meaningful topics. What’s truly beautiful about this curriculum is its flexibility: it meets students where they are, whether they’re just beginning to explore or are eager for greater depth. It cultivates critical thinking and encourages rich, thoughtful conversations across all subjects. Ultimately, it’s a framework that allows each family to shape the experience in a way that best serves their children’s growth."

"Three years ago, I retired from my job as a Federal Agent.  My wife had been doing the homeschooling for the past 11 years and it was time for me to fulfill my biblical mandate in   (Deut6:6-7, Pro22:6, Eph 6:4, Psalm 78:5-6) to educate our children and give my wife a well-deserved break.  With much enthusiasm I jumped into it.  About two months later, I had to confess that it was easier for me to chase drug dealers through the desert alone at night than it was to homeschool. Classicus changed all this for me. The simple, easy to follow, logically laid-out lesson plans gave me the ability to accomplish our goals and thrive at homeschooling.

In my opinion, perhaps the best aspect of the program is how apologetics ties right into the underlying theme of the program…bringing up our children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.  This past year, I had the responsibility of leading Apologetics at our homeschool community’s Summus I program.  I found myself deeply rewarded by the conversations that were spurred by following the curriculum with the youngsters.  Seeing them grow and mature towards God is better than any adventure I had when I was working.  I would have never thought that I would say this, but I am greatly looking forward to the start of the next school year."

"Classicus curriculum is the answer for continuing classical education from 7th-12th grade. It is a curriculum that emphasizes quality not quantity. My family has been involved in classical education for years. It is a rigorous and intense education that my oldest teen could handle, but my 2nd teen was different. It was a struggle to get things done because he learned differently. I knew a change was needed. I knew I wanted to continue classical education. I believe in it. Classicus fit the need in many ways. First off, it was a struggle to discuss math in class because so many students are at different levels. The answer, yes, is to still do math, but let's discuss Theology instead. This past semester we have dived into the different religions and what others believe. The students LOVE theology and their life has  been changed because of it. Furthermore, our family is involved in Stoa. We believe in this world, we have got to teach our children how to stand for truth, speak boldly, and change the world for Christ.  This curriculum helps make Stoa manageable.  The logic strand is debate. The literature strand involves writing essays and delivering them in class while working on speaking skills. Whether a family does Stoa or not, learning the skills to speak, debate, and think critically are crucial in today's world. Our home life is more balanced because we are not rushing through topics, we are enjoying them, diving deep into them with dinner discussion questions each night that are found in the curriculum, and learning together at a more manageable pace. It is a wonderful curriculum that will get your child ready to face our world and be a light for Christ."

"I am extremely impressed with the Classicus Curriculum. Not only has it been an amazing program to work through with my child, it has been a key component to solidifying my child's faith. The apologetics portion has helped my child wrestle through some of the difficult topics within the Christian faith, and come out stronger than ever. Our family has always homeschooled our children with the emphasis of keeping God at the center of all that we do. The Classicus Curriculum absolutely reinforces the Biblical focus of keeping God at the center of our education process, and has helped sure up my child's foundation of his faith."                 -Briana, 20 year homeschool mom and community board member

​

"We had great success having speech & debate brought into our classical curriculum. The step-by-step process led all students to have confidence regardless of debate experience. It's very encouraging to see how our kids will take these skills and expand on them. We are building better communicators."   

-Jay, Classicus dad & speech & debate club leader

"The purpose of education is developing the minds of the youth and guiding them into their roles in this life.  Theology is critically essential in both these regards. As Christians, we understand that the Bible clearly lays out the respective roles for men and women, and, with guidance from the Holy Spirit, guides us throughout our personal lives. Because education consumes the upbringing of our children, theology must be the foundation of Christian education. It is important to understand theology in this world for two main reasons. First, as Christians, we believe that the events of our world, as well as human nature, are due to supernatural reasons that are beyond human comprehension. Secondly, God is seen everywhere. The ancient Greeks uncovered the truth of the God of the Bible centuries before Christian missionaries preached there.  Socrates, using merely logic, developed certain “proofs” of God that are still used to argue for God’s existence to this day.  He was condemned to death for this. Theology must not be absent from the classroom  because “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7) and  “the knowledge of the holy is understanding”  (Proverbs 9: 10).  We must have Theology as our foundation of education in order to stand for the truth and speak boldly for Christ."               -Ethan, 2024 Graduate & Stoa alumni

“As a 10th-grade student and speech-and-debater, I thoroughly enjoyed this past year of studying with Classicus! The material we covered was amazing, and I absolutely LOVED that my speech-and-debate work was integrated into the daily schedule! This curriculum has greatly improved the quality of my schoolwork while keeping it simple and flexible. I really appreciate this curriculum and am eagerly looking forward to next year!”                      -Raena, Summus 1B Student & Stoa competitor
