Graduates of Redeemer Classical Christian School are well prepared to pursue higher education. As a feature of classical education, our humanities program integrates the history, literature, philosophy, theology, arts and music of each time period studied. All students are required to take two years of Latin, two years of logic, debate, oratory, Biblical doctrine and Christian apologetics. During the senior year, every student will research, present and defend a thesis paper. In addition to classical studies, Redeemer also provides challenging course work in math, science and foreign language.
