For high school students, we use Summit Ministries’ Understanding the Times curriculum series. Foundations covers the Bible metanarrative and its trustworthiness, Biblical worldview, other worldviews, how to follow Jesus, Biblical hermeneutics, and discussing cultural issues. Apologetics equips students to share Christianity with others, answer challenges to Christian beliefs, discuss cultural issues, discipleship, and Biblical hermeneutics. Students can earn 3 college elective credits with each of these classes.

“For 30 years, Summit Ministries’ Understanding the Times Series curriculum has been a leading resource in worldview education across the country. This new material expands to include four full years of curriculum covering the basics of Christian belief, apologetics, comparative worldview, and cultural engagement all using Summit’s time-tested worldview education framework.”
