A note from our founding

Founded in 2008 by classical educators and Reformed pastors who believed rigor and discipleship belong together.

In the autumn of 2008, a small coalition of classical educators and Reformed pastors gathered on Missionary Ridge to ask one question: could a homeschool curriculum honor the child's developmental stages and the Church's historic confession of faith? Sixteen years later, the answer has been written into 487 graduate transcripts and carried into 47 U.S. states and 19 countries.

We are still tuition-funded, still debt-free, and still anchored by a six-member theological review board that signs off on every mentor's faith statement each year. What began as a Tuesday-morning study around a kitchen table now serves 2,347 active students — without ever separating what is true from what is good.

The classical arc, K through 12

From the first primer to the senior thesis — a classical arc from Kindergarten to graduation.

The Trivium meets each child where they are: gathering facts, sharpening reason, and finally learning to speak and write with wisdom. Our Launchpad stage (K–3) prepares the soil.

  1. I
    Kindergarten — 3rd Grade

    Launchpad

    Phonics, copywork, narration, picture study, and the great stories of Scripture and the West. Latin and logic are introduced as songs and games — the soil is prepared for what comes next.

  2. II
    4th — 6th Grade

    Grammar

    Knowledge is gathered and ordered. Students master the facts of grammar, geography, history, and science — and begin formal Latin in the fourth grade, two years earlier than most classical programs.

  3. III
    7th — 9th Grade

    Logic

    Reason is sharpened through formal logic, Socratic discussion, and the formal study of rhetoric's foundations. Students learn to ask why — and to defend the answer.

  4. IV
    10th — 12th Grade

    Rhetoric

    The classical arc culminates in the senior thesis — a 6,000-word defended essay before a faculty panel. Graduates leave Agape equipped to speak, write, and lead with wisdom.
