Do you want EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION?

HEPTX's Journey Through Time follows the classical view of education, in which the individual purpose of education was to shape wise and virtuous adults. Over the 5 years of JTT, students engage in a wide-ranging but deep discussions of the ideas of classical philosophy in the light of Christian thought in order to reestablish the supremacy of wisdom and virtue in education.

This is one reason why so many former HEPTX students go on to seek master and doctoral degrees. They know HOW TO THINK!!!!

Our JTT program begins on August 17. If you are interested in joining, contact [email protected]. Students often join in 8 and complete the 5 years; others join even in 11th or 12th! So, if you are interested, contact Joanne Juren.

JOURNEY THROUGH TIME, an intensive survey course of literature and history starting with the Ancient Times and continuing to the Post Modern Times, presents the history and literature of Western Civilization in a formal classical methodology with a heavy focus on honors level rhetoric and writing. Using the writing program, Writing with the Masters, students develop strong writing and research skills while exploring the great writers and thinkers of the world.
