Homeschool Course

For Ages 13+ (8-17 Wks/120 Hrs)​ Students will learn to quickly and reliably find hidden assumptions that determine what is true and what is not—and WHY—in real-world issues and situations by exploring the assumptions that control how people think about today's moral, social, and cultural issues. Building on this foundation, students will then learn how to relate truth from God and the Bible to these real-world issues, preparing them to engage others at college and in the rest of the culture...which is fully intending to engage them.
