Year One Programming
Logic
In her famous speech entitled The Lost Tools of Learning, Dorothy Sayers said, “Is it not the great defect of our education today that although we often succeed in teaching our pupils “subjects,” we fail lamentably on the whole in teaching them how to think? They learn everything except the art of learning.”
We want to equip students to think Biblically, rightly, and logically. Our goal is to give the enrolled students the tools to develop a foundation and framework for thinking logically. This course has been developed to help students learn the practical understanding of logical arguments.
Our Rooted Intensive is a 30-week program designed to educate and equip middle school students to think and process the world Biblically.
The program consists of five primary components: logic, theology, apologetics, worldview analysis, and a book club focusing on literature from notable Christian authors. Additionally, an at-home Bible reading plan and parental resources will be provided.

Theology
Simply put, theology is studying about God. The goal is not to make studying theology a lofty intellectual exercise but a practical understanding of how we rightly think about God, His word, and His creation. This course will take a systematic and Biblical approach to everyday life.

Apologetics
In a world filled with hostile opposition to living for Christ, it is vital to be built up in the faith and able to defend it. Defending the faith isn’t just winning an argument; it is standing firm as a witness and follower of Christ. This program hopes to do more than provide one-line rebuttals. It aims to anchor students in a deep knowledge of God’s word, which will allow them to discern the truth from lies and stand for what’s true.

Worldview
A good soldier and scout is well aware of his enemy’s thoughts, ways, and tactics and the battle he is fighting. Students will engage with contrasting, contrary worldviews to expose the enemy’s lies and shine the light of Christ.

Spurgeon Society
As the Prince of Preachers, Spurgeon had a deep passion for God’s word and a ravenous appetite for good books. While we only desire to follow the true and living God, our Lord and Jesus Christ, it is fun to follow the godly legacy of our forefathers in the faith. This program aims to develop a deep love and understanding of God’s word while consuming soul-feeding literature penned by godly men
