10th Grade Omnibus:
The Inklings
$2000 per year
or $200 per month for 10 months
Our most popular class, The Inklings is the first Omnibus class in our curriculum, designed to give students three classes worth of study in one course. The Inklings class invites students into the project of Socratic discussion via the works of the small group of 20th-century Oxford-based writers who called themselves “The Inklings” (including C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, T.S. Eliot, and more). Through close reading, textual analysis, textual engagement, and discussion, students explore foundational questions of faith, love, philosophy, education, imagination, morality, ethics, and poetry.
Omnibus: The Inklings counts for three high school classes, or 30 credits: 10 credits of Literature, 10 credits of Philosophy, and 10 credits of Bible/Theology.
Classes meet two days per week.
11th Grade Omnibus:
Foundations of America
$2000 per year
or $200 per month for 10 months
11th Grade Omnibus: Foundations of America, the second course in our Omnibus series, invites students to consider the project of America: her history, her philosophical underpinnings, her politics, and her challenges. Spanning from pre-colonial days to the civil rights era, students discuss the forms and structures of law, power, and government, the nature of rights and liberties, the historical events of America’s founding and development, and her rich literary and philosophical traditions. Readings include John Locke, The Federalist Papers, The US Constitution, John Wesley, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and more.
Omnibus: Foundations of America counts for four high school classes, or 35 credits: American Literature (10 credits), American History (10 credits), Bible/Theology (10 credits), and US Government (5 credits).
Classes meet two days per week.
12th Grade Omnibus:
On Faith
$2000 per year
or $200 per month for 10 months
Our capstone Omnibus class, On Faith invites seniors into a deep-dive chronological study of the Christian faith and traditions, from the Gospels through the Reformation and Renaissance. Students read the major works of theology, history, and literature that the church produced in her first 2000 years to discover a glowing heritage of faith, truth, and beauty. Readings include Athanasius of Alexandria, Eusebius of Caesaria, historic church creeds and councils, Thomas Aquinas, Dante, Luther, Calvin, and more. More than anything, On Faith invites students into a rich and very real personal faith that is informed by history, theology, a community of believers, and the wise mentorship of their teacher. It is our hope that the formation of this mature faith will be a guide and anchor for them far beyond the classroom.
Omnibus: On Faith counts for three high school classes, or 30 credits: World History (10 credits), World Literature (10 credits), and Bible/Theology (10 credits).
Classes meet two days per week.
Writing Lab
$500 per year
or $50 per month for 10 months
A mandatory writing tutorial supplement for all first-time Omnibus enrollees, this special tutorial teaches students the basics of each main Omnibus assignment type. Topics include close reading and note-taking skills, outlining, extracting essential ideas from a text and putting them into your own words, citing and quoting texts, supporting analysis and interpretation with text, forming and articulating arguments, organizing ideas, building complex arguments and ideas, and more. Students also have the opportunity to workshop their work with the writing tutor as class time allows.
NOTE: Writing Lab is required for any student taking their first Omnibus class. Students may also choose to repeat the Writing Lab class tutorial while taking subsequent Omnibus classes as a way to review and earn optional extra credit.
Classes meet live online once per week, and class sessions are recorded so that students can review as necessary. Writing Lab does not count for additional class credits—it supplements the existing credits of the Omnibus classes.
