THE EDUCATED CHRISTIAN CURRICULUM
God has revealed a finite amount of absolute truth that can be taught and learned systematically to produce a well educated Christian. Harvard taught such a curriculum for 200 years. Many Christian thinkers have confirmed the value of the classical languages, great books, Christian philosophy, and Christian classics for Christians in every walk of life. Many of these works are difficult to study independently, but come alive when studied in a group. The Concourse core curriculum stands as the measure of a well educated Christian. It also uses the most family friendly seminar discussions, tutorials, laboratories, and preceptorials to convey this knowledge.

What is the Biblical Concourse?

The Biblical Concourse of Home Universities helps each participant develop their own alternative to college that is consistent with their family and church values. Participants include high school students, college students, graduate students, and professionals desiring to continue their education. The Concourse provides knowledge and people resources that help implement Biblical truth and creatively challenge the cultural norms in each occupation. Participants invest in their own offices, shops, laboratories and businesses as they develop and accomplish their own courses and curricula. This results in the lowest cost, most time efficient and directly useful high quality education, which purposely builds family economies and motivates multigenerational faithfulness to God.

How it Works

1. Each student submits an application. Then a letter of acceptance is sent to qualifying students with Concourse course and curriculum recommendations.

2. The student then consults with his or her parent(s), pastor and professionals to finalize their curriculum and begins classes and their other curriculum activities.

"Even now, most persons would admit that the important services their teachers have rendered them are such advice or counsel, given at a chance meeting or in a tutorial." Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society, 1970.

3. The student completes his higher education goals and demonstrates competency through his or her resume, curriculum vita, portfolio, course certificates, industry certifications, professional exams, work experiences, apprenticeships and or entrepreneurships that were incorporated into their years of study.

Competencies proven through portfolios provide a Biblical approach to credentialing and the equivalency of a degree without compromising the student's family, faith, learning motive, peer environment or professional opportunities.

What does it cost?

The overall cost of completing one’s education with the Biblical Concourse is estimated to be one tenth of a four-year public in-state resident college or one 20th of a four-year private resident in-state college. No federal funds are used to support the Concourse and student work experiences can be embedded in each curriculum which eliminates the need for loans.

Each course contact hour and professional contact hour is charged to student accounts at one ounce silver per hour. Students typically need one contact hour each month for independent study work and one per week for tutorial courses. (Why silver?)

Why Should Parents Consider the Biblical Concourse?
The short answer is: Christianity, family, money, and the future of our culture. It is well known that secular higher education in our day is promoting anti-Christian ideas, and that students who attend Christian college are leaving the faith at higher rates than those who attend secular universities. It is time to challenge the cultural norms that have removed Christianity from the marketplace and separated families.
