Academics: Humanities

Humanities is the foundation upon which our commitment to excellent education is built. It is a study of world culture emphasizing the basic classical scholastic approach of moral philosophy, thus equipping students with the tools for a lifetime of learning: a working knowledge of the timetables of history; a background understanding of the great literary classics; a familiarity with the sweep of art, music and ideas; a worldview comprehension of basic geography; a principled approach to discerning the significance of current events; and an emphasis on a Christian life paradigm.

The idea is to study human achievement in context both in terms of its historical and societal sequence and in terms of its providential and cultural importance. Out of this integrated understanding of God’s world, every other subject and discipline is informed.
