Presenting—philosophy adventure
Philosophy Adventure teaches students 6th-12th grade how to write skillfully, think critically, and speak clearly as they explore the history of ideas!
the write-think-speak formula
Philosophy is the discipline that explores questions like: “Where did we come from, and why are we here?”
How we answer determines what we value and how we behave.
This Pre-Socratic curriculum explores from the firm foundation of a biblical worldview—using 3 Core Pillars:
Write
As students explore the history of philosophy, they’ll discover the origins of unbiblical ideas and recognize them for what they are. The act of writing helps students replace uncertainty with firm resolve and ignorance with insight.
Think
Your student will encounter a combination of profound truths…and absolute absurdity. We desire to help students develop critical thinking skills that empower them to discern between the two.
Speak
Our goal is to contrast human philosophy against the unmatched wisdom and beauty of Scripture and help students develop the communication skills to effectively combat false ideology.

- creative writing

The World is Changing
Are your children equipped to stand?
—Stacy Farrell, Author
All-too-soon, your children will make their own way in this increasingly godless culture.
I understand how hard it is to prepare them for that.
Because we homeschooled our own sons, I empathize with the struggles you face as home educators.
I love homeschooling and homeschoolers – and I’m dedicated to helping you teach your children to think critically and stand firm for Truth.
That’s why I created Philosophy Adventure.
