Classical Academic Press Catalog 2024

G r eetings to you from Camp Hill, PA

Thomas Aquinas says, “Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.” One way to illuminate something is to go to its source, to learn the cause or origin of that thing in order to understand it well. In Latin, this concept of going to the source is summarized in the phrase ad fontes, which means “to the fountains” or “to the springs.”

Going Ad Fontes with Humanitas

When it comes to building a history or humane letters curriculum, we try to follow this same pattern and go to the sources— the primary sources—as soon as students are ready. Humanitas is our upper-school humane letters curriculum, each year of which includes 100 curated and annotated primary source readings, enhanced with images of full-color, period-specific paintings, artifacts, and architecture. See pages 64–67 for more information.

Growing in Virtue with The Curious Historian

We are also elated to release our third year of history curriculum for elementary and middle school students. The Curious Historian series goes ad fontes in age-appropriate ways while presenting history as an ongoing human story that cultivates wisdom as students encounter various examples of virtue and vice. Each semester-long, full-color text features images of artwork, artifacts, and architecture of the covered time period. See pages 59–62 for more information.

This year we are also excited to be releasing:

• Advanced Biology: The latest text from Novare Science, Advanced Biology is an accelerated or honors-level text that emphasizes biochemistry and covers the entire AP™ Biology syllabus.

• That’s a Fallacy!: This pithy and enjoyable introduction to the informal fallacies is written for parents and adults who want to master the art of debate and discussion.

• Latin Alive! Book 1 Revised Edition: Implementing nearly ten years of feedback and ideas for enhancement, we have refreshed this superb Latin book designed for upper-school students.

• CLT Student Guide: Classical Academic Press is now the publisher of the official CLT Student Guide, the essential study guide for the CLT and CLT10 exams.

• The Justice Reader: This collection of 50 primary source readings, created in partnership with the Classic Learning Test, explores the cardinal virtue of justice. This reader can supplement any humanities class and doubles as good practice for the CLT.

• The Enchanted Cosmos: This exploration of how to best teach math in the classical tradition, written by Ravi Jain, coauthor of The Liberal Arts Tradition, details practical approaches to multiple levels of mathematics.

We are grateful to be a thriving company in the midst of the growing renewal of classical education. Thank you for your partnership with us as we all strive to bring the best education we can to our families and communities, both in the United States and abroad.

Pax,

Study Latin First

10 Reasons to Choose Latin as Your Primary Foreign Language

by Dr. Christopher Perrin

There are countless benefits to studying Latin—indeed, it is no wonder that Latin has been a required subject in schools for centuries! You will likely find that the study of Latin brings life to your students’ learning and becomes a silver key that opens a dozen different doors. Here is a list of the top 10 reasons to choose Latin as your students’ primary foreign language.

1. Becoming Multilingual: Latin evolved into French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian (the Romance languages), and therefore to learn Latin is to begin a study of 6 languages at once. In fact, about 90 percent of the vocabulary of the Romance languages comes from Latin.

2. English Vocabulary and Grammar: Studying Latin aids students in mastering English. Fifty percent of all English words are derived from Latin—along with 80–90 percent of all polysyllabic words. Learning Latin will greatly expand students’ vocabulary. The regular grammar of Latin is also ideal for learning English grammar or the grammar of many other languages.

3. Professions: Latin prepares students for many important professions that are steeped in Latin terms and phrases. These career fields include law, medicine, science, music, theology, philosophy, art, and literature.

4. Writing and Reading: The increased vocabulary and understanding of grammar gained by studying Latin enables students to write and read with greater ease and clarity.

5. English Literature: Latin grants students a deeper understanding of English literature prior to 1950, much of which is replete with references and citations in Latin.

6. History: The study of Latin and its history helps students to more fully understand and appreciate the Roman Empire, which has had profound and continuing effects on Western Civilization.

7. Great Literature and Art: Latin enables students to enjoy some of the most influential literature and art in the world. Learning Latin well enough to read original Latin works is an attainable skill that imparts great satisfaction and enjoyment. Great works of arts and monuments all over the world are frequently graced with Latin as well.

8. Educational Virtues: The study of Latin develops attention and analysis skills that help students become attentive and thoughtful readers and writers.

9. Pleasure: Deciphering the “secret code” of Latin and learning how to puzzle-solve, see the meanings behind words, and read great authors in their own tongue are pleasures that will last students a lifetime.

10. Simultaneous Learning: Studying Latin can be a concurrent experience for students, allowing them to master other skills and subjects as they study.

SONG SCHOOL LATIN Song School Latin

Children love to sing and love learning while singing! Just as they happily learn their ABCs to song, they will also learn Latin words, vocabulary, and phrases. We have employed this in Song School Latin Book 1 and Book 2. Both texts are enlivened with songs and chants that help children master their Latin vocabulary. Parents and educators frequently tell us how often children go around singing these fun (and funny) songs throughout the day on their own—even the toddlers tag along!

Song School Latin Book 1 teaches primarily Latin vocabulary. Song School Latin Book 2 includes new vocabulary and a gentle, gradual introduction to Latin grammar.

What’s Included in the Full Program?

Lessons are peppered with songs, enjoyable vocabulary, illustrations, handwriting practice, stories, games, and engaging activities, providing young students (1st–3rd grade) with a vocabulary-based introduction to this classical language.

Teacher’s Edition This teaching tool includes the entire student text along with teacher’s notes and answers to exercises and worksheets in bold print. Teachers will also find fun classroom ideas and additional, reproducible chapter-by-chapter activity pages.

Video & Audio Thanks to the catchy songs that correspond with each weekly lesson, students will continue mastering their Latin words even after class ends! The Songs and Chants audio files contain more than 30 songs and chants.

The SSL teaching videos feature engaging Latin teachers who narrate the vocabulary and explain the simple grammar lessons. Students will also enjoy following the animated adventures of Simeon the Monkey, whose continuing storyline incorporates the weekly vocabulary words. Animated derivative “river” episodes highlight the way in which Latin words have come into various languages, including English, Spanish, and French.

Flash Cards Featuring all of the vocabulary from each book, the Latin Monkey Match Flashcard Games continue the fun! Students can use the flash cards for extra practice as well as to play games such as Memory or Go Fish.

LATIN ALIVE!

Latin Alive!

Implementing nearly ten years of feedback and ideas for enhancement, Classical Academic Press is refreshing this superb Latin series designed for upper-school students. We have improved the pacing, better distributing the content between the three books, thus ensuring that students will be equipped to master the content. The revised series will retain the relevant, rigorous, and engaging introduction to Latin grammar and derivatives of the original series while also emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to language learning. Many of the standard exercises such as fill-in-the-blank and conjugation and parsing have been extended and new exercises designed to encourage students to speak, listen, draw, and move to their Latin lessons have been introduced. The revised curriculum will truly make the Latin language come alive, both for students who have studied Latin (such as students who have completed the Latin for Children series) and for those who have not been previously introduced to Latin.

“As an upper-school teacher with no previous study of Latin, one year I sat in on our school’s Latin 1 class, which was using Latin Alive! Book 1. Not only did I enjoy the class and easily learn the chants and declensions, I witnessed how much the students (in a class of mixed grade levels) enjoyed the curriculum too!”

—Tracey

(New York)

WRITING

Writing & Rhetoric

“Writing & Rhetoric is a true delight and so beautifully done: exposure to literature, history, and art [plus] valuable tools in the writing process and an introduction to academic concepts with just the right touch. I’m genuinely excited to continue with the series and to revisit books with younger children.”

—Jeannine (Minnesota)

A Classical Approach to the Progymnasmata

What are the progymnasmata ( progym)? Derived from the same root for “gymnasium” and “gymnastics,” the word means “preliminary exercises.” It is a writing system so dynamic, so effective, that it outlasted the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, and has even survived into early modern times. The progym will prepare your students to enjoy transforming that blank sheet of paper into a spectacular view from atop the pinnacle of their own imagination.

The goal of the progym is to prepare students for the art of writing well and speaking persuasively. Through the Writing & Rhetoric series, students will not only learn these skills but also enjoy the journey to mastering modern composition—including narrative, expository, descriptive, and persuasive writing—while simultaneously developing unique rhetorical muscle. This series builds a solid foundation of mastery, imparting new skills incrementally while blending those taught in preceding books. The exercises are arranged from simple to more complex, and what’s more, they are cumulative, meaning that later exercises incorporate the skills acquired in preceding exercises.

See ClassicalAcademicPress.com/FAQs for placement recommendations.

Writing & Rhetoric Teacher’s Editions include the complete student text, as well as answer keys, teacher’s notes, and explanations. For every writing assignment, this edition also supplies descriptions and examples of what excellent student writing should look like, providing the teacher with meaningful and concrete guidance.

Writing & Rhetoric Audio Files allow students to engage their sense of hearing and their listening intelligence as the fables, parables, myths, tales, speeches, and historical narratives that correspond with each book are delivered aloud in a thoughtful manner by members of the CAP staff. By listening to the audio files, students will enjoy and internalize the stories before they enter them more deeply.

Book 4: This one-semester book employs the skills of the preceding books and teaches students how to write a 6-paragraph essay on the basis of a saying or an action.

In this book, the thinking and exercises occur within the framework of stories about historical figures such as King Arthur, Lady Godiva, King Canute, Omar Khayyam, and more.

The 6-paragraph essay using the 5 Ws is arranged this way:

• Who—Praise the author of the proverb or saying

• What—Restate the saying in your own words

• Why—Explain why the saying is useful

• Where—Contrast the author with an historical figure

Writing & Rhetoric Book 12: Declamation

Declamations, which are essentially reinterpretations of an important or famous speech, are the training exercises in eloquence that marked the capstone of Roman rhetorical instruction. Declamation reconstructs these ancient exercises and adapts them for use today, offering a systematic approach to rhetorical invention and enabling students to forge a clear pathway to eloquence. These declamation exercises will sharpen a variety of rhetorical skills and complete students’ prior training in eloquence. Along the way, they will gain oratorical dexterity through practice exercises and use the skills and strategies learned in the previous books to further build their persuasive imagination.

Mapping Your Writing, Logic, and Rhetoric Programs toward the Senior Thesis

The senior thesis is a capstone project, the crowning achievement in a student’s academic journey. The path to the senior thesis begins with a strong foundation in writing, continues with a study of logic and how to build arguments, and culminates with the practice of rhetoric, the art of persuasion. Navigating this journey will provide numerous lasting benefits for students but can be complicated. To make mapping out your path more straightforward, we have supplied a year-by-year suggested track for 7th–12th graders. Following this recommended sequence will help students bring together what they’ve learned from their writing, logic, and rhetoric studies and apply those skills toward crafting a senior thesis: their most important high school work.

Well-Ordered Language

“After a year of ‘trying something different,’ my daughter was begging to return to the Well-Ordered Language program. We love the simplicity, relevancy, and ease of use. The books are lovely, the writing engaging, and the examples and exercises are helpful and easy to use. Hands down, our favorite grammar program. And we have tried many!”

—Colleen (Wyoming)

What if the study of grammar could harness a child’s natural curiosity? What if it could be a source of delight to children? What if in later years students could apply their grammar knowledge and not just recite it?

The Well-Ordered Language (WOL) series presents the study of language in a way that appeals to a child’s inborn curiosity and desire to collect, gather, and order. It presents grammar in a clear, systematic way, while simultaneously seeking to cultivate a child’s wonder of language by presenting instruction in the context of narrative and language, attractive illustrations, and samples taken from classic children’s literature and poetry.

The WOL series is designed so that students actively engage with the grammatical concepts in each lesson, using language skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening—along with songs and chants. Students will find the mastery of grammar achievable, meaningful, and delightful as they learn to gather and arrange words to express their thoughts clearly and accurately.

In addition to the full text of the student edition, the Well-Ordered Language Teacher’s Editions include pedagogical guidance and tips embedded in the text, along with extensive explanations and guidance in WOL’s unique analytic approach to grammar. Suggested schedules, activities and games, and answers for all of the student exercises provide teachers with intentional material for use in guiding their students.

The Well-Ordered Language Audio Files are lively tunes and chants that will help students learn grammar terms in a pleasurable and memorable way. These unique and delightful recordings feature a blend of musical genres and implement repetition, chanting, and sing-along phrases to aid in achieving memorization. You will likely find your students singing these catchy songs outside of class!

I would like to start Well-Ordered Language with my older student. Where can I begin?

Each WOL level consists of 2 books and is a full year of grammar. Schools and homeschool educators may adjust the number of exercises and assessments according to their needs. The 4 levels of WOL build on one another just like a Latin program or any other language curriculum:

• Beginning Grammar—Level 1A and 1B

• Intermediate Grammar—Level 2A and 2B

• Advanced Grammar—Level 3A and 3B

• Intensive Grammar—Level 4A and 4B

If your student is very comfortable with the 8 parts of speech and their functions, you should be able to move directly into Level 2A. We recommend reviewing the table of contents and having your student work through some of the exercises provided in the free online sample to determine if moving ahead will be the best fit!

History

With so many subjects to learn, and so little time to study them all, do we really want to spend time mired in the past, traveling along the dusty roads of former mighty empires such as Babylon, Greece, and Rome, when our students’ minds could be speeding along the superhighways of modern technology? We think the answer is an emphatic “Yes!” We agree with the words of well-known modern author Michael Crichton, who said, “If you don’t know history, then you don’t know anything. You are a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree.”

We believe that history is about more than memorizing dates, reciting lists of kings and emperors, and remembering who won which battle in wars that changed the world forever. History is also the study of the people who lived during those events. From the beginning of recorded time, people have invented new ways to do things, created beauty in dreary places, and erected buildings and monuments that continue to inspire us. Some of these people became well-known figures and others were ordinary men and women like you and me. But all of us are part of the greater tree of humankind, and we each need to know what our part is as a leaf upon that tree. Without an understanding of the past, we will be less equipped to live in the present and plan for the future.

Humanitas: America

by Christopher Maiocca, Series Editor

Humanitas: American Origins Books 1 & 2

This set of two books provides a curated tour of the peoples, ideas, and events that were most responsible for defining the historical epoch between the Protestant Reformation (ca. 1517) and the conclusion of the American Revolution (1783). After completing this volume, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the European monarchies, the great migration to America, the Enlightenment, early American culture, and the calling into existence of the most unique nation the world has ever seen.

The 50 chapters include:

• Critical writings, such as Hall’s Chronicle, which served as the basis for most of Shakespeare’s historical plays and gives us an exclusive, eyewitness account into King Henry’s tumultuous reign

• Monumental treatises, such as Samuel Rutherford’s Lex, Rex, the broadside that famously told Europe to abandon the monarchical system

• Precious narratives, including George Washington’s letters describing a harrowing year at Valley Forge and William Bradford’s inspiring tale of the Pilgrim’s dream to become a “city on a hill” and the attempts to patch the world’s newest nation back together again

Humanitas: The American Republic Books 1 & 2

This set of two books provides an unfolding, historical narrative of the peoples, ideas, culture, and events that were most responsible for shaping the epoch between the conclusion of the American Revolution (1783) and the Reconstruction (ca. 1877), as told directly through eyewitness accounts. The primary source documents present students with an unparalleled view into the trials and triumphs of a nation nearly destroyed by civil war

The 50 chapters discuss historical themes including:

• The creation of a novel government in the wake of the Revolution

• The divergent paths that the North and South would eventually trod

• The fierce debates over slavery and the treatment of Natives

• The bitter conflicts that took nearly three-quarters of a million lives, and the attempts to patch the world’s newest nation back together again

Humanitas: Greece & Rome

Christopher Maiocca, Series Editor

Humanitas: Ancient Greece Books 1 & 2

Beginning with the mythic past and moving into the concrete particulars of history, these books cover the rise and fall of Ancient Greece. The documents chart the development of Greek culture, the conflict with Persia, the rise and eventual breakdown of the Greek polis in Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War, and Alexander the Great’s conquest of the known world. After completing these books, students will be familiar with the influence of myth on Greek culture, the political history of ancient Greece, the advent of philosophy and science, and the various Greek visions of the good life and what comprises a just community. The 50 chapters include:

• Mythic tales about the creation of the cosmos, the struggle between the gods, and the fall of Troy

• Historical accounts of Herodotus and Thucydides, which celebrate the triumph of the Greeks against the Persians and the destructive conflict of the Peloponnesian War

• Political documents such as the Constitution of Athens and the Constitution of the Lacedaemonians

• Writings of the first philosophers and scientists, which directly affect the rest of Western history

Humanitas: Ancient Rome Books 1 & 2

From the founding of Rome to the sack of the eternal city by Alaric the Goth in AD 410, Ancient Rome Books 1 & 2 cover the rise of the Roman Republic and the slow decline and fall of the Roman empire. These books begin with the founding myths, chart the wars with Carthage and the influence of Hellenism, and cover the establishment and breaking of the Roman empire. Along the way, the documents in these books will illustrate the virtues that defined Roman citizenship, chart the birth and spread of Christianity, and provide insight into Roman education, philosophy, and material culture. The 50 chapters include:

• Accounts of historical events and figures such as the Battle of Hastings and Joan of Arc

• The flowering of medieval learning in the writings of figures such as Anselm, Aquinas, and Roger Bacon, and the contribution of Muslim science alongside mystics and polymaths

• Early explorers such as Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta, and Felix Fabri

• The writings of literary masters from across Europe, such as Marie de France, Dante, and Petrarch

Grades 9-12

Humanitas: Medieval

Christopher Maiocca, Series Editor

Humanitas: Early & Late Medieval

With the rise of Christianity and the foundering of Rome, the medieval period begins in crisis. Humanitas: Early Medieval Books 1 & 2 move from pressing questions about the relation of Church and state in the wake of Rome through the establishment of Christendom. Students will discover that the medieval period, commonly known as “the Dark Ages”, was anything but dark as these books chart the maturation of the liberal arts, the advances of science and culture that accompanied a renaissance of learning, and the development of political theory and praxis as various states and kingdoms are established.

The 50 chapters include:

• Accounts of religious developments

• The spread of imperial power through figures such as Charlemagne alongside the Carolingian Renaissance

• Historical chronicles that relate political developments in what will become England and France

• Poetic and literary texts that help provide national identities

Humanitas: Late Medieval Books 1 & 2

Late Medieval Books 1 & 2 begin with the establishment of feudal society following the Norman Conquest of Britain and move through the development of high scholasticism, the renaissances of the Trecento and Quattrocento, and the early exploration of Asia and Africa. The flourishing of the Late Medieval period was not without conflict, and in these books students will read about the separation of western Europe from the Byzantine east, the devastating effects of the plague, the political ramifications of the Hundred Years War and the Crusades, and attempts at church reform and the delineation of orthodoxy and heresy.

“

CAP’s writing and logic programs offer the most comprehensive and engaging instruction that I have seen in the K–12 market. Students will be very well prepared to meet unique writing challenges in both university and workplace settings.”

—Abigail (Oklahoma)

Logic

Logic is like a two-sided coin: On one side it’s the art and on the other it’s the science of reasoning. We see logic used (and abused) on a regular basis whenever someone makes an argument. Most often, we see bad arguments—what we call “fallacies”— readily on display in the public sphere. But what we might not see is the poor architectural construction of those arguments.

A comprehensive study of logic can and should be applied across the curriculum so that students are introduced to both the art and the science of arguing and reasoning well. Students should be developing and practicing critical thinking skills as early as the grammar stage and employing these skills long into adulthood. From exploring the informal fallacies (everyday arguments gone wrong) to using Aristotle’s rules for testing validity, the study of logic will teach students to craft accurate statements, build valid arguments, and pursue Truth.

Suggested Logic & Rhetoric Sequence

Using Classical Academic Press Logic & Rhetoric Texts

We use logic every day, often employing it to distinguish logical arguments from those that are unreasonable. Beginning in the earliest stages of child development, the building blocks for this skill are shaped and formed, which is why we suggest starting logic study in 3rd or 4th grade! Take a look at our suggested logic course of study (by grade and level), which also prepares students well for an upper-school study of rhetoric.

Reasoning & Reading

by Joanne Carlisle—Grades

3–6

The Reasoning & Reading workbooks develop basic language and thinking skills that build the foundation for reading comprehension. Exercises reinforce reading as a critical reasoning activity by having students practice determining word, sentence, and paragraph meaning and build reasoning skills. Students are encouraged to come up with their own answers in any instance in which there is no single correct answer, or to work collaboratively to see how many different answers satisfy a question. This supplemental resource is best used 1–2 days per week.

The Art of Argument Program

An Introduction to Informal Fallacies

by Aaron Larsen, DA & Joelle Hodge, MAT with Christopher Perrin, PhD

This new, revised version of The Art of Argument preserves all of the best features of the award-winning first edition while incorporating more comprehensive instruction about how to detect and avoid each of the 28 fallacies covered in the book and updated fallacy examples for today’s students. This edition also includes taxonomic fallacy trees to give students and teachers helpful visual guides as they seek to understand the commonalities and differences between the fallacies, plus several new dialogues with everyone’s favorite philosopher, Socrates! Additional explanations and examples have been provided in the teacher’s edition to better equip instructors to guide their students through the most challenging fallacy identifications. The result is a richer, fuller, more naturally flowing text that fosters wonder and delight as students learn to detect fallacious arguments in their own academic work, in the arguments of others, and in modern culture.

Full program includes:

The Art of Argument (student edition) This book teaches 28 informal fallacies (such as begging the question, the straw man, appeal to fear, etc.). Clear explanations and illustrations, along with dialogues, worksheets, and dialectic discussion questions, make this text easy to follow and the fallacies fun to learn. The fallacies become relevant with practical applications through an analysis of social, commercial, and political issues, as well as nearly 60 comical and clever fake advertisements.

The Discovery of Deduction Program

An Introduction to Formal Logic

by Aaron Larsen, DA & Joelle Hodge, MAT with Shelly Johnson, PhD

The Discovery of Deduction: An Introduction to Formal Logic will welcome your students into the fascinating realm of formal, deductive logic. This text teaches students how an argument is put together. It pulls back the curtain to show students not only how arguments work, but also how to assess what’s going on in their own minds. The Discovery of Deduction is recommended for students who have studied informal fallacies, such as those taught in The Art of Argument ; however, the text does also stand on its own as an independent study of formal logic.

Full program includes:

The Discovery of Deduction (student edition) This book makes the subject of logic accessible and relevant to logic-stage students, who are at an age when they are beginning to engage with important ideas. This text emphasizes the practical and real-world application of soundly structured deductive logic. Using methods such as Socratic dialogue, ample discussion, and integration of other subjects, the text approaches formal logic in an ideal way for dialectic students. Starting with a short history of Aristotelian logic, students then learn how to translate arguments from ordinary, conversational, or written narratives into categorical form. Students build on those skills as they study how to construct syllogisms and test them for validity. As a part of this process, they study the square of opposition and relationships of equivalence, learning how to make valid propositional inferences and analyze syllogisms.

The Discovery of Deduction Teacher’s Edition This edition features the entire student text, along with an answer key, teaching tips, sample essays, dialogues, and arguments.

The Discovery of Deduction Video In these chapter-by-chapter lessons, instructor Joelle Hodge, coauthor of the text, explains the concepts of formal logic, providing a variety of examples and applications along with plenty of visual aids to help students master the content. Students will also learn to avoid the common mistakes and pitfalls often made when trying to tackle this challenging subject on their own.

Rhetoric

“It is not enough to win the argument—we must win the person.”

Guided by engaging texts on rhetorical theory, practice, and thesis written at their level, students will not only become accustomed to examining evidence and defending a position, but they will also learn how to present topics with deeper understanding. These rhetorical skills will benefit students far beyond the classroom as they go on to become leaders in their fields and take a stand on what’s important.

Rhetoric Alive! Book 1: The Principles of Persuasion

by Alyssan Barnes, PhD

Finally, a rhetoric textbook especially well suited for today’s high school student! In order to defend the true, promote the good, and reveal the beautiful, we must do more than merely teach good content and clear thinking. We must also persuade.

Rhetoric Alive! Book 1 explores the principles of winsome speech as developed in the foremost text on persuasion: Aristotle’s Rhetoric. The 15 chapters of Rhetoric Alive! step through the essential components of persuasion—the 3 appeals, the 3 types of speech, and the 5 canons. Each chapter includes an exemplary classic text for analysis and discussion, from Pericles’s “Funeral Oration” to Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Students also have plenty of practice developing their own rhetorical skill through the weekly workshops, imitation assignments, and oratory presentations.

Three appeals

Ethos (speaker’s credibility)

Pathos (audience’s emotion)

Logos (argument’s reasoning)

Three types of speech

Deliberative (exhort or dissuade)

Ceremonial (praise or blame)

Judicial (accuse or defend)

Five canons (rules or standards)

Invention Organization Style

Memory Delivery

Rhetoric Alive! Book 1: Principles of Persuasion is written by Alyssan Barnes, who holds a PhD in rhetoric. An experienced rhetoric teacher from Live Oak Classical School in Texas, Dr. Barnes takes the wisdom of the ancients and makes it accessible to students of the third “trivium art.” If you have only one text on your shelf for teaching the art of persuasion, Rhetoric Alive! Book 1 should be that book.

Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis

by Alyssan Barnes, PhD

The senior thesis is a capstone project, the crowning achievement in a student’s academic journey. In completing the thesis, students bring all that they’ve learned—reading, writing, and arguing—to bear on one issue. They learn the background of the topic, analyze other people’s arguments, and synthesize their findings and discoveries, putting it all together to form a true, good, and beautiful whole. Through the use of workshops, assignments, and presentation practices, the Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis workbook walks students step by step through the process of writing and then delivering a thesis. Students will gradually draft the 6 parts of the thesis—introduction (exordium), statement of facts (narratio), thesis statement (partitio), argument (confirmatio), counterargument (refutatio), and conclusion (peroratio)—as they are taken through the thesis process from start to finish, from choosing a topic to crafting a snappy title, and everything in between.

Versatile and straightforward, this text can be used by students who are only writing a thesis paper, only delivering a spoken address, or doing both.

Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis is an all-in-one resource—journal/scratch pad/research notebook and rough-draft-to-final-copy writing guide—that will equip students to create a strong, compelling, and well-crafted senior thesis.

What sets Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis (RA Thesis) apart from other rhetoric texts?

• RA Thesis can be used in conjunction with any rhetoric curriculum

• RA Thesis uses clear, accessible language

• RA Thesis takes students step by step through the writing of the thesis, from start to finish

• RA Thesis aids students in writing a paper, a speech, or both

*Sayers was not technically a member of the Inklings literary group, but rather was a close associate of Lewis and Williams, and her work shares the same concerns. Thus, we have included her in this series, considering her an Inkling “in spirit.”

The Man Born to Be King

Classical Academic Press is pleased to bring Dorothy Sayers’s masterpiece The Man Born to Be King back into print. In this 12-play cycle, Sayers dramatizes her conviction that God is both the victim and the hero of this classic work of art, and what He does in it is perpetually surprising. C.S.

MORE LANGUAGES

Children have a natural desire to learn and to experience the world around them. Numerous studies have shown that children are uniquely suited to studying foreign languages because such study capitalizes on their inquisitive nature, providing them with an opportunity to explore methods of communication, decipher thought, and connect with others.

Classical Academic Press was founded on the idea that study of the Latin language is an essential element of a classical education. We have since taken the pedagogy and structure of our flagship series, Song School Latin and Latin for Children, and applied them to our Spanish, French, and Greek programs.*

We know that a key component of learning a foreign language is the distinction between learning common words and phrases and understanding the mechanics of the language well enough to communicate fluently and accurately. Designed both classically and creatively, CAP’s texts foster a love of foreign language in students as young as 1st grade through vocabulary and song. For older students, the texts build up to achievable challenges in grammatical instruction, immersion-style dialogues, and basic translation, creating a solid foundation to correctly speak and understand the language.

*See pages 12–28 for our Latin courses and pages 80–88 for our other foreign-language offerings.

“I have been a CAP customer for over 7 years. In our homeschooling journey, my daughter has used Song School Latin Books 1–2 and Latin for Children Primers A–C, and this year she will start using Latin Alive! Book 1. We have used Spanish for Children Primers A–B as well, and I was so impressed with the material that now I use it with my students at a private school in Arizona. My first language is Spanish, and I thought the material was well organized and challenging.”

Bible

Students who study the Bible with Song School Bible: Old Testament and the God’s Great Covenant series will learn and understand Scripture in a systematic and meaningful way. The Bible tells us God’s story. It has many parts, but from beginning to end, it is one story with a promise throughout: “I will be your God, and you will be My people.” Through this story, we learn who God is, who mankind is, how the world came to be, and how God worked through history to bring redemption to His people. The God’s Great Covenant series narrates this story for your student in an engaging and unique way.

“God’s Great Covenant is the best Bible curriculum I’ve found in my 14 years of homeschooling. It provides a thorough understanding of the Bible, gives a solid foundation of theology in an easily digestible way, is adaptable for multiple ages and flexible to use, isn’t moralistic, and best of all, it continually speaks to the heart and points students (and teachers!) to the gospel and their need for Jesus. The teacher’s guide is a treasure and is really worth buying.”

God’s Great Covenant New Testament 2 Program

by Claire A. Larsen, MA

In God’s Great Covenant New Testament 2: A Bible Course for Children, we follow the book of Acts as the gospel spreads from Jerusalem, into all of Judea, to the territory of Samaria, and finally into the whole world. It’s a story of adventure, misfortune, mighty miracles, and God’s marvelous grace.

Full program includes:

God’s Great Covenant New Testament 2 (student edition) Following the same chapter formats as GGCNT1, God’s Great Covenant New Testament 2 teaches children in 4th grade and up how God completed His covenant promise to Abraham that “all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:3). The textbook has 5 units: An introductory unit that gives the purpose of the book of Acts, short biographies of Acts’ leading men (Luke, Peter, and Paul), and a description of the New Testament world precedes 4 units that trace the gospel’s spread into the world. The book of Acts continues the story of Jesus’s ministry through the acts of His apostles. It is the bridge that connects the Gospels, which tell the story of Jesus’s ministry, to the Epistles, which explain and apply the gospel story. Though the Epistles are not studied in detail, this text has chapters on the nature of Paul’s letters, problems in the early churches, and a concise description of Paul’s theology. The book of Acts is the culmination of a beautiful redemption story that began many, many years ago in the Garden of Eden. It is not only a page-turning adventure story but also a testament to the faithfulness of our God, who makes promises to His people and keeps them.

SCIENCE

Inscience instruction today, challenges abound, from determining correct teaching methods to deciding how best to ensure students’ retention of content beyond the course. These challenges are compelling thoughtful science educators to continually ask, “Where do we start?” In the search for a program taught from a godly perspective that will improve science education and increase student achievement, Novare Science stands as the solution!

Novare Science founder and author John D. Mays based his 7th–12th grade curriculum on the core principles of mastery, integration, and kingdom perspective, 3 areas of focus that are evident in each of Novare’s middle and high school textbooks. The content is carefully selected, presented, and assessed cumulatively so that students can truly master the entire body of material in a standard academic year. Integrative instruction avoids isolating science, and instead draws connections to other subjects such as math, writing, and history. The kingdom perspective that is present in each text helps students to see the fingerprints of God in creation and the world around us. (For more on each of the core principles, see page 106.)

The tone, style, and graphics in each Novare text are age-appropriate, coherent, and engaging, designed to draw students upward toward the adult world of scientific inquiry and study. Combining the 3 core principles with rich, appealing design results in the deeper learning of less material and, ultimately, in a superior science education that faithfully affirms God’s creative design of the universe and His intimate, ongoing involvement with His creation.

Wonder Integration Mastery

What Resources Are Available for Novare Science Courses?

Novare has created and developed unique resources for each course. (All courses and bundle options are listed in detail on pages 99-105.) Common elements include:

• Student Edition To promote mastery and long-term retention, Novare textbooks feature subject matter that has been carefully curated and limited to the central, most important material for each course. (For more about this approach, see the mastery section on page 106.) Each text also includes specific learning objectives (supplied at the beginning of each chapter); clear, proven problem-solving strategies incorporated into all example problems; and answer keys to all computations in the text. The student editions integrate connections to history, mathematics, language, and philosophy, while regularly inviting students to pause and consider the sophistication of design in nature, the regularity of natural law, the human ability to model nature mathematically, the fitness of the earth as a dwelling place for mankind, and other telling aspects of Creation.

• Digital Resources These digital resources supply a variety of materials to help teachers conduct class, including chapter exams and quizzes, review guides, semester exams, answer keys to all computation questions on the quizzes and tests, sample answers to verbal questions, recommendations and schedules for teaching the course, and more. (Contents vary per course.)

• Experiment Manuals Novare aims to help educators implement an excellent science education program, which involves bringing students into a real lab experience. Using the experiment manuals, high school students will learn the background of an experiment, how to analyze results, and how to write a premier lab report. (For middle school texts, the experiment instructions are supplied as part of the digital resources.)

• Solutions Manuals A useful resource for students, homeschoolers, and anyone else who would like help working out the problem sets, the solutions manuals feature step-by-step solutions showing how each problem or calculation from the text is solved.

Life Science

by Tracy Creek

Life Science, by Tracy Creek, is the text for a year-long course designed for 6th grade. The mathematics in Life Science is minimal, making the text a good fit for 6th grade, but it may also be used successfully in grades 7 or 8.

The study of biology has changed substantially in the twenty-first century. Fifty years ago, texts in the life sciences focused primarily on the structures and features of different types of organisms. Today, however, much of current technology and news is about cellular and molecular biology, and thus a life science text that is relevant for today’s students must contain a balance of content addressing important large-scale topics and key micro-scale topics, treated at an appropriate level.

Novare Life Science maintains exactly this balance. Large-scale topics include human organ systems, animal and plant reproduction, and inheritance of traits. Micro-scale topics include cellular respiration, photosynthesis, mitosis, meiosis, and sensory systems. Additionally, there are four crucial chapters treating the energy, populations, nutrient cycles, and biomes of ecosystems. The two final chapters provide an introduction to evolutionary theory and a fascinating description of how mutations in DNA lead to genetic variation.

The laboratory component of our Life Science program is supported by The Apprentice’s Companion for Life Science. This is a manual of 26 activities, accompanied by fun poems, literary references, historical features, and pages for sketching, graphing, and recording data.

The Digital Resources download includes quizzes, exams, review guides, answer keys, and a sample course schedule.

Advanced Biology

by Heather Ayala and Katie Rogstad

Advanced Biology, With Emphasis on Biochemistry, by Heather Ayala and Katie Rogstad, is an introductory text for accelerated high school students who have previously completed a course in high school chemistry. When used in the standard Novare Science program, the study of advanced biology occurs in the junior year for students in the accelerated pathway.

Advanced Biology addresses all the topics in the College Board’s AP® Biology syllabus. Most of these topics are biochemical or genetic, focusing on the biochemical processes in cells and the biomolecules (proteins, DNA, and so on) that make these processes happen. Four broader topics—genetics, ecology, selection and speciation, and the theory of evolution—address issues above the cellular level. Additionally, the text includes strong historical surveys and consistent integration of a Christian perspective on God’s creation. The text also incorporates chapter objectives, review questions, and a Standard Questions List, the well-known features associated with Novare Science’s signature mastery-learning teaching model.

The laboratory component of our Advanced Biology program is supported by The Apprentice’s Companion for Advanced Biology. This is a manual of 26 activities, accompanied by poems, literary references, historical features, and pages for sketching, graphing, and recording data. Additionally, there is “Commonplace Space,” where students are encouraged to record their thoughts, ideas, and dreams as they work through the laboratory activities. The Digital Resources download includes quizzes, exams, answer keys, sample course schedule, lesson list, and recommendations for teaching the course.

A Transformative Model for Science Education

by John D. Mays

Designed for teachers, parents, and administrators, From Wonder to Mastery contains all of the vital content from Teaching Science so That Students Learn Science, the original flagship guide to the Novare Science pedagogy. This valuable text offers a wealth of brand-new content, as well as an analysis of the latest research and literature on mastery learning. The book begins with a focus on the imperative need to foster a sense of wonder in the classroom, and then goes on to explore how wonder can be achieved through the 4 essential areas of integration with science: epistemology, mathematics, history, and language. This text offers a glimpse into the unique approach to science education and mastery learning that has been developed and honed through the Novare Science curriculum.

From Wonder to Mastery: A Transformative Model for Science Education $21.95

A New Alternative for Science Education

Most students tend to adopt a futile learning method called the Cram-Pass-Forget cycle, in which they cram for tests, pass them, and then soon forget most of what they learned. Success in such an environment revolves around jumping through hoops, not genuine learning. By contrast, Centripetal Press texts incorporate methods and curriculum materials designed to promote a LearnMaster-Retain cycle. This approach involves adopting a reducedscope curriculum with continuous review and ongoing accountability for retention. Instead of isolating science content from everything else, critical points of effective integration are developed, such as highlighting shared skills found in both science and math, history, and language. Students are encouraged to think and talk about the relationship between science/mathematics and the wonders of nature as students grow in their understanding of our endlessly fascinating and mysterious world.

Teaching from Rest A Homeschooler’s Guide to Unshakable Peace

by Sarah Mackenzie, foreword by Christopher Perrin, PhD

Those who have made the decision to homeschool have done so out of great love for their children and a desire to provide them with an excellent education in the context of a warm, enriching home. Yet so many parents (mainly mothers) who have taken up this challenge find the enterprise often full of stress, worry, and anxiety. In Teaching from Rest (TFR), her practical, faith-based, and inspirational book, Sarah Mackenzie addresses these questions directly, appealing to her own study of restful learning (scholé ) and her struggle to bring this gift to her children.

Family Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids

by Sarah Mackenzie

Connecting deeply with our kids can be difficult in our busy, technology-driven lives. As Sarah Mackenzie has found with her 6 children, reading aloud to kids long after they are able to read to themselves gives us the opportunity to connect and go on adventures together, side by side. Reading aloud increases academic success, inspires compassion, and builds character in a world more and more difficult for children to navigate without a strong foundation. In The Read-Aloud Family, Sarah champions the lifelong benefits of reading to children, offers extensive book lists, and equips parents to make reading aloud a lasting family ritual.

Making School Beautiful: Restoring the Harmony of Place

by John Skillen, PhD

The rapid growth of the classical Christian education movement means that hundreds of recently established schools enjoy a basic solidarity of purpose. They can also seize the opportunity to think together about how the architecture and design of their schools can best suit their identity and location. In Making School Beautiful, Dr. Skillen draws out principles of campus design from the very liberal arts—rhetoric in particular—that shape our curriculum. From the campus layout to thoughtful design of rooms, buildings, and selected art, students and teachers can foster a love of learning, a care for their neighbors, and a desire for God. This book is accompanied by a supplemental webpage that provides full-color images of the works of art referenced in the text.

The Age of Martha: A Call to Contemplative Learning in a Frenzied Culture

by Devin O’Donnell

T.S. Eliot characterizes modern life as having “neither plentitude nor vacancy,” and goes on to say that our lives are “distracted from distraction by distraction.” We have grown so used to our distractions that we have nearly forgotten what leisure is, that divine and gratuitous part of human existence that ennobles life and causes us to pause and reflect, pray and praise. This is why the Scriptures give us the story of Mary and Martha. We can be like Mary, who chose to be still and present for the most important thing. Or we can be like Martha, who chose instead to worry about earthly things and was admonished for her unwillingness to rest. In this work, O’Donnell challenges us to return to seeing leisure as a guiding light in our education efforts.

Join renowned author Dr. Louis Markos on an ancient adventure for the modern Christian! In the spirit of C.S.

The Black Intellectual Tradition

by Angel Adams Parham, PhD, and Anika Prather, PhD

The powerful legacy of classical education among Black intellectuals and teachers in America is a national treasure with the capacity to bless teachers and students the world over. Dr. Angel Parham and Dr. Anika Prather introduce us to readers, writers, teachers, artists, and people of action who loved, taught, and put into practice the wisdom and virtue of the great voices who came before. These Black educators and intellectuals, while living with the injustices and hardships that gave them unique insights, mined the tradition, weaving it together with their African and African American heritage to create a new narrative that would aid all people in understanding injustice and was thus integral to the fight for liberation and equality.

A New Natural Philosophy: Recovering a Natural

Science and Christian Pedagogy

by Ravi Scott Jain, Robbie Andreasen, and Chris Hall, MAT

Aristotle said that philosophy (the love of wisdom) always begins in wonder— wonder that often is kindled as we gaze upon the astonishing world around us. Yet today our science classes too often neglect the wonder evoked by the natural world and instead occlude and stifle it. How, then, can our science classes reconnect wonder to nature, wonder that will lead to wisdom, work, and worship? This book seeks to answer that question by helping recover the “natural” in natural science, the wisdom in “philosophy,” and the worship that flows from wonder.

Lost Seeds of Learning:

Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric as Life-Giving Arts

by Phillip J. Donnelly, PhD

The verbal arts of grammar, logic, and rhetoric are often referred to as tools of learning. But this analogy between words and tools too often relies on the common assumption that the verbal arts are merely neutral tools, their purpose assigned arbitrarily by humans. Rather than tools, words are like seeds whose purpose is life-giving.The Lost Seeds of Learning invites readers to consider how our understanding of the learners, the teachers, the content, the forms, and the purposes of the verbal arts becomes transformed in light of Christian faith.

Echoes of Eternity: A Classical Guide to Music

by Stephen R. Turley, PhD

Recovering the lost tools of learning is one thing, but getting students to love classical music is another. What precisely is a classical view of music? And in a pop-saturated culture, how do we as educators not only effectively communicate such a view to our students, but also foster in them a love for what they hear? This book contains a rich tapestry of concepts, vocabulary, and listening examples that will equip you to teach and awaken students to the splendor of a classical vision of music. In this book, which is written for both musicians and nonmusicians alike, you will discover a profound theology of music and music practice, learn how to explain the objective value of music, and be introduced to ways in which music can be incorporated throughout a school day.

Common Arts Education: Renewing the Classical Tradition of Training the Hands, Head, and Heart

by Christopher Hall, MAT

The liberal arts—the trivium and quadrivium—represent the core, the academic foundations, of a classical education. And yet, they alone cannot meet our basic needs, for we must eat, heal, defend ourselves, trade, build, find our way around, and more. It is these common arts that provide the experiences in real application that will allow students to become not only fully functional in their knowledge, but fully charitable in the world. In this book, author Chris Hall outlines a vision for the resonance between the liberal, fine, and common arts, supplies concrete steps that teachers can take to implement a common arts curriculum, and provides a series of experiences to try in any classroom, at any grade level.

Plato: The Great Philosopher-Educator

by David Diener, PhD

Plato is one of the principal founders of the Western intellectual tradition, and it is nearly impossible to examine the historical development of any academic topic without, knowingly or unknowingly, addressing his views. Regardless of our final assessment of Plato’s educational thought, it is unquestionable that his understanding of education has had a profound impact on the development of educational theory and practice around the world for nearly two-and-a-half millennia.

Augustine: Rejoicing in the Truth

by Jeffrey S. Lehman, PhD

If one were to compile a short list of those who have had the greatest influence on education in the Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian tradition, undoubtedly Augustine’s name would be near the top. An ardent seeker of truth and the author of Confessions, City of God, and On the Trinity, St. Augustine was the first Christian to offer a detailed account of the liberal arts and their proper place in a liberal education. In this book, Dr. Jeffrey S. Lehman shares his love for the liberal arts and for Augustine by introducing readers to Augustine’s philosophy and theology of education. Lehman explores Augustine’s evolving thought about the nature and purpose of education, and how modern-day educators can draw from Augustine’s legacy and enduring relevance to regain a tradition of excellence in education for our time.

Mortimer Adler: The Paideia Way of Classical Education

This book examines the foundations, characteristics, contours, and real-life applications of Adler’s proposal for Paideia education.

by Louis Markos, PhD

In this book, Lewis scholar Dr. Louis Markos surveys Lewis’s thoughts on education as represented in books such as The Abolition of Man, An Experiment in Criticism, The Discarded Image, and Collected Letters, and in numerous other essays and publications. What emerges is a timely call to renew a radical liberal arts education that assumes a meaningful, purposeful cosmos and that will awaken students “from the slumber of cold vulgarity” and cultivate their affections for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.

John Milton: Classical Learning and the Progress of Virtue

The Puritan poet John Milton is most famous for his massive theological epic Paradise Lost. He was also known as perhaps the greatest genius of the English Renaissance—possibly the best-educated man of his day—and was a major theorist of classical learning for Christians. In this book, Milton scholar Dr. Grant Horner from The Master’s University examines the poet’s powerful vision of a Christian and classical education.

To this day, he remains one of the most influential and fascinating thinkers in the history of education. In this concise introduction to the work of Comenius, Dr. David Smith sketches some of Comenius’s central ideas, pointing to several important themes that summarize Comenius’s tireless work for educational reform.

Festive School

by Fr. Nathan Carr

In The Festive School, Father Nathan Carr draws on his experience as a teacher, headmaster, and priest as he offers a series of wise, joyful reflections on the importance of festivity in Christian education. He makes an important distinction between the kind of quick, sugary fun, entertainment, and novelty that today’s popular culture so values, and the kind of deep and enriching festivity that will be substantial enough to satisfy our students. True joy cannot be found in a moment of novel entertainment, but rather in a way of life that is organized around prayer, worship, love, and relationship.

Charlotte Mason: A Liberal Education for All

by Jason M. Barney

A devoted Christian and avid proponent of liberal education, Charlotte Mason developed a philosophy that became an international movement of parents and schools to reform education.

In this book, Jason Barney situates Charlotte Mason’s educational thought and practices within the context of her life and influences. He then explores Mason’s philosophy of education under the main principles that she espoused in her writings: children are born persons; education is an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life; and education is the science of relations. Readers will see that, in dialogue with the past as well as the present, Charlotte Mason stands as one of the giants in the history of education.

Stones Cry Out

by David V. Hicks

According to author David Hicks, we use stones supplied by others to build walls that delineate what we come to see as true and good. These stones “cry out” as representations of living and eternal truths, or myths, that comprise what is real. In this book, Hicks surveys three sacred myths that tell the truth of human reality and three secular myths that serve as their counterfeits.

The Enchanted Cosmos: Mathematics and the Logos Who Is

Love

by Ravi Scott Jain

In The Enchanted Cosmos, Ravi Scott Jain explores how the study of mathematics should be formative and participatory. Students should grow as much in wonder and judgment as they do in skill and should experience reality through mathematics, not simply work problems. Without discounting mathematical progress, Jain demonstrates how ancient and medieval perspectives can enrich pedagogy and curriculum. Through a variety of puzzles, proofs, and other resources, The Enchanted Cosmos details practical approaches to multiple levels of mathematics, from higher arithmetic through calculus. The curriculum of wonder this book outlines culminates in wisdom and worship as students discover the cosmos as enchanted, woven together with a harmony, or a musical logos, that is amenable to numerical description. It entertains Clement of Alexandria’s claim that Christ himself, the Logos who is love, is greater than the music of the spheres because he is the epitome of humanity holding all things together and through himself reconciling them to God.

That’s a Fallacy! A Parent’s Guide to Logical Argument

by Christopher Perrin, PhD and Joelle Hodge, MAT

Everyone makes arguments—arguments from the mundane to the profound, arguments for what dessert to order, what car to buy, or what president to vote for—but we don’t always argue well. In fact, often we quarrel rather than argue and we are also prone to being persuaded by faulty and deceptive arguments.

That’s a Fallacy! presents 28 logical fallacies—the most common ways that arguments go wrong and become deceptive. It features multiple examples of how each fallacy works, including dialogues that present logical fallacies in culture, politics, school, and home life. Various fake advertisements throughout the book exemplify many of the fallacies.

That’s a Fallacy! is an ideal book for those wishing to protect themselves from propaganda of all types and to argue well with cogency and clarity . . . and without fallacies.

The Good Teacher

by Carrie Eben and Christopher Perrin, PhD

The Good Teacher elucidates the timeless principles of classical pedagogy that characterize great teaching and make a teacher good at the craft. Rather than focusing on discrete techniques of teaching, the book highlights those principles that inform and select techniques, setting the teacher free to know what to teach, as well as when and how.

The Schole Way

by Christopher Perrin, PhD

As modern education becomes increasingly frenetic and stressful, the need for the relief and peace of restful teaching and learning increases as well. In this short book, Dr. Perrin describes the tradition of restful learning, or scholé, and offers practical suggestions for how to restore it in our schools and homeschools.
