AFA Complete Rhetoric Adaptive Digital Curriculum.

$3,000 per student per year — payable in twelve monthly installments of $250. A 12-month digital curriculum subscription for students in Grades 9 through 12. See full tuition details. Available courses vary according to grade level, placement, completed prerequisites, and the student’s academic plan.

The Rhetoric Level is the capstone of AFA’s classical Christian sequence. It prepares students to think independently, wrestle with complex ideas, communicate truth persuasively, exercise responsible leadership, and prepare for vocation and calling.

Theology and Worldview introduces foundational Christian doctrines and equips students to evaluate competing ideas and worldviews through a biblical lens. The rhetoric sequence includes Critical Writing, Classical Rhetoric I, and Classical Rhetoric II with Senior Thesis. Students develop analytical writing, thesis construction, research skills, evidence integration, rhetorical judgment, public speaking, debate, and persuasive argument. The senior capstone requires students to research, write, and formally defend a thesis of at least 35 pages using classical rhetorical structure.

The Rhetoric Omnibus sequence spans Omnibus III (American History and Constitution), Omnibus IV (Ancients), Omnibus V (Medieval), and Omnibus VI (Modern). Through primary texts, analysis, research, debate, and persuasive writing, students enter the Great Conversation and evaluate important ideas according to truth, goodness, beauty, and Scripture.

Spanish I–IV develops listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and cultural understanding. Mathematics offerings include Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus; science offerings include Physics, Chemistry, and Advanced Biology. Additional courses include Economics, Personal Finance, Called to Build: A Classical Christian Trades Survey Course, and the advanced Living Wisely, Winsomely, and Well sequence.
