Humane Letters

For 6th, 7th, and 8th graders

Humane Letters is the heart of the Christendom Curriculum. The course takes an integrated approach to the humanities with the understanding that the various fields of literature, history, and philosophy form a cohesive whole in understanding humanity.

While the Socratic method will be used in every Christendom course, the Humane Letters seminar offers an elevated form of the Socratic method in which students are guided in a discussion of texts, asked to articulate responses to carefully crafted questions, and invited to reason through such responses together with their peers. By discussing, students learn to read closely, think analytically, keep to the topic, uncover meaning, grow in intellectual humility and the ability to listen and understand. These discussions are neither lectures nor debates, but rather a testing of the veracity of ideas through charitable dialogue.
