Academics at Redeemer

Redeemer's education aims to form students into learners and lovers of God who see everything in relation to the excellencies of the Lord Jesus Christ. A Redeemer education will be marked by being:

​

  • Rooted in the Scriptures (2 Tim 3:16)​

  • Joyfully treasuring Christ as our highest aim (Matt 13:44)

  • Equipped for a God-centered worldview  (2 Cor 4:5-6)

  • The Trivium as a training tool for discernment (Prov 16:21)

  • Academic rigor within a gracious environment (1 Cor 9:26-27)

  • Virtue formation for faithful living (Prov 16:16)

  • Depth and mastery over breadth and exposure (Dan 2:20-23)

  • Advancing God’s Kingdom in the world (Phil 2:9-11)

  • Limited and dependent upon God (Rom 11:33-36)

Why Classical Education?

Our unique educational model is built on two foundational elements: a Classical approach to education and a Christ-centered foundation for learning. Classical Christian education cultivates virtue, wisdom, and eloquence by nourishing the soul on truth, goodness, and beauty. We believe that education shapes our heart's loves, sharpens our mind's discernment, and fills our mouths and lives with praise to our Creator and Redeemer.

​

  • Foundational Truths & Enduring Traditions. A classical education is based on great ideas, great books (including primary sources when possible), foundational truths and principles, and enduring traditions and skills.

​

  • Educating the Whole Person. We educate the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) and therefore equip students with deep theology and excellent academics for all of life, no matter the vocation to which a student is called (1 Cor 10:31).

​

  • Rooted in the Trivium. Classical learning is rooted in the Trivium; that is, grammar, logic, and rhetoric. These are not stages of development but thinking skills that students must engage to deeply understand a subject. When we learn any new subject, skill, or discipline, we approach it through grammar, logic, and rhetoric thinking so that we move from the concrete to the philosophical. The Trivium allows us to teach the individual student how to think, meeting them where they are, unconstrained by their age. The Trivium also harmonizes with the biblical concepts of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.

Curriculum

A distinctive feature of Redeemer is that our teachers will be Living Curriculum and the material used (curriculum) is the spine that will inform our teaching content.   With this in mind, for math we will be using Singapore Primary for our lower primary grades and will then progress to Principles of Math through the early secondary years.  We will dive into Harold Jacobs Algebra and Geometry in High School.  

 

For our Humanities integrated course we will use Mystery of History as a spine and then use carefully selected literature that coincides with ideas, themes, and periods of time related to our annual history cycle.

 

For science we will be using Berean Builders as a spine and building out various projects and labs that coincide with the objectives.  As we move into secondary we will use Novare Science material to hone scientific skill and critical thinking towards scientific ideas. 

 

Most importantly we will infuse all that we do with Scripture while also taking a thematic approach in Chapel using the Westminster, Baptist, and New City Catechisms.
