Kepler Education
I’m excited to be part of the team at Kepler Education! Kepler is a new consortium of independent teachers offering online classes for students 7-12. Kepler offers a wide variety of courses in the classical Christian tradition, with an emphasis on the liberal arts. You can choose which teachers/classes fit your family’s needs and schedule. Although not a “school,” Kepler does offer credits towards a high school diploma.
In 2020-2021, I’ll be offering classes in Medieval Humanities, Rhetoric and Logic. The Medieval Humanities courses are integrated humanities classes, combining history, literature, philosophy, theology, and the arts. We’ll be using the Old Western Culture curriculum, featuring a long time friend and inspiration of mine–Wes Callihan.
I’m offering Medieval Humanities for 8th graders, and also a more advanced class for 11th graders.
Rhetoric and Introductory Logic will also be fun. For Rhetoric, we’ll be using the Fitting Words curriculum from Roman Roads Media, with veteran teacher Jim Nance. Introductory Logic will also use the book and videos by Jim Nance.
My classes will follow the “Oxford Model,” which is also known as a “Flipped Classroom.” Students will watch lectures from Wes Callihan and Jim Nance early in the week. Then they’ll do their assigned reading and other assignments. On Fridays, we’ll meet online to discuss the lectures and readings, and to pursue wisdom as a community of learners.
I look forward to connecting with you at Kepler!
