  • Unapologetically.

    TELOS is rigorous about academics and intentional about magnifying Christ. In each subject, we strive to present the parallels between academics, scripture, and our Christian worldview.

    [Statement of Faith]

  • Yes. At TELOS, we provide a classical education rooted in language-focused learning and a strong emphasis on the logical and rhetorical stages of the Trivium. We honor the classical model, bet we do not limit ourselves to courses strictly defined as “Classical.”

    Why This Approach?

    Experience. Our oldest son’s education was strictly and exclusively “Classical.” Unfortunately, when he went to college, we found that he was not prepared. While his education was outstanding, his life skills and preparation for college life were woefully lacking. This insight prompted us to expand our curriculum. We now offer classes such as:

    • Study Skills

    • Productivity and Information Management

    • Effort Estimation and Assignment Planning

    • Personal Finance and Basic Accounting

    • Culinary Arts

    • Emergency Preparedness

    • Our Goal

    By integrating these essential life skills and strategies, we believe our students will be better equipped not only to excel academically but also to thrive in the practical demands of college and beyond.

  • We have noticed that homeschooled and classical students tend to be very good in the liberal arts, but many are underprepared in math and science.

    To address this, we hire teachers with backgrounds in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology to teach those classes. Consequently, we are confident that TELOS students will fare well in all areas of pre-college testing, not just the liberal arts.

  • There are several reasons.

    First, TELOS is challenging. The fourth week has lighter homework and gives the students a chance to catch their breath. Our goal is to challenge the students, but not to overwhelm them.

    Second, the week off gives families a chance to travel and students a chance to pursue hobbies, sports, or side businesses.

    Finally, it improves morale! No matter where you are in the school year, you’re never more than two weeks away from a break!

  • Disruptions are handled on a case-by-case basis, but continuous disruption violates the Code of Conduct and the Student Handbook and it is taken very seriously.

    No student will be allowed to interfere with teaching or learning and continued disruption is grounds for expulsion.

  • Depending on the subject, the student-teacher ratio is between 1:5 and 1:20. With larger classes, an intern will be available to help.em description

  • TELOS Academy is for full-time students. It is a full curriculum with 8 core classes plus worship, culinary arts, and P.E. It also includes field trips, special speakers, social activities and more.

    TELOS A La Carte is an opportunity for students to take up to two classes offered by TELOS Academy.

  • Because fathers have an inordinate influence in the lives of their children—especially teens. Being there once a section allows the father to know what’s been taught, follow up on matters of worldview and support the effort and progress of his student. It also lets them get to know the other fathers, which makes camping and other activities much more fun.
