Kepler Education

In Classical Education, three fundamental subjects known as the Trivium are Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric. Rhetoric, being the culminating subject, happens when a student takes what they KNOW academically and BELIEVE virtuously, and communicate it persuasively. 🗣️

As Christians, our goal is not simply rhetoric, but rather virtuous rhetoric. Dr. Memmott prioritizes teaching students to “engage in mature, meaningful, and respectful discourse.”

In addition, these courses are available for our dual credit program, so your child can get even more out of their time and your investment. ⏳

This coming academic year, Gladys Kober (NASA researcher and Astronomy professor) is offering this incredible high school Astronomy course through Kepler.

In this course, Kober emphasizes the difference between true scientific evidence and the worldview of the scientist. She teaches students to identify these differences and separate truth from biases.

This is the perfect course to bolster your high schooler’s homeschool science curriculum while simultaneously bolstering their faith.

Comment “ASTRONOMY” and we’ll send you the full course description.

Did you know Kepler offers a series of unique writing-literature: “Lost Tools of Writing” courses? These courses use classic literature (and even sometimes film) to teach writing and rhetoric skills through engaging stories and Socratic discussion.

Browse through these introductory courses being taught this Fall 2026-2027 at Kepler, with some being available to as low as 6th grade all the way through High School.

Which course subject would most interest your child?

If our children are going to be prepared to live faithfully and fruitfully in this coming technological age, they will need more than information. They will need wisdom, judgment, eloquence, virtue, and a well-formed moral imagination.

Just like the engineers and surveyors who rebuilt Hawke’s Bay after the old maps failed, we have fundamental tools we can use (i.e., compasses). But we need to ask the right questions. We need to ask compass questions.

When the landscape has changed, a parent cannot be satisfied with asking, “Where is the nearest school?” or “Which program is most convenient?” or “Which path looks most like the path everyone else is taking?” Those are map questions. And today the map no longer corresponds to the land.

You may be persuaded that public education is not enough. You may be persuaded that your child needs something more than job training, digital worksheets, ideological formation, and test preparation. You may be persuaded that your child needs a classical Christian education—a liberal education, a humane education, an education ordered toward truth, goodness, beauty, wisdom, and virtue.

But then Monday morning arrives. The bills still have to be paid. The younger children still need attention. The teenager still needs accountability. The parents still have work, church, family, meals, appointments, and obligations.

And the question becomes very practical: What now?

The first step is to begin with the end in mind. Don’t begin with the curriculum or course catalog. Do not begin with the schedule. Do not begin with the fear that your child is behind. Do not begin with the panic that someone else’s family seems to be doing everything better. Begin with the end in mind.

What kind of student are you trying to form? Or better still, what kind of human being are you trying to form?

Here’s the answer: A student who can read carefully. A student who can write clearly. A student who can reason soundly. A student who can speak truthfully and persuasively. A student who knows the Scriptures, understands the great tradition, and can engage the world without being absorbed by it. A student who can love what is lovely, discern what is vicious or false, resist what is degrading, and pursue what is noble. That is the end we have in mind.
