This School year alone . . .

How many people get to spend hours each week talking with students about the gospel?! Making connections between God's story and subjects like history, literature, geography, writing, and a host of other topics is what we love to do. We are blessed to spend time each week preparing students for a life spent loving God and the people He places around them.

Classical Course Schedule

Based on the award-winning Tapestry of Grace homeschool curriculum, the Lampstand Learning Center provides a classical Christian education using an integrated unit study approach, with the history of the world as the core organizational theme. Rather than studying subjects independently, students study the literature, geography, and worldview of a people as they also study the history of that people, making rich connections and achieving a deeper understanding of the people, their lives, and their literature. 

PARALLEL STUDIES REQUIREMENT: Due to the nature of our Tapestry of Grace courses, if your child is enrolled in one of our year-plan Tapestry writing courses at the dialectic or rhetoric level, your child needs to also be enrolled in one of the LLC History courses online or be studying Tapestry History on a schedule that parallels ours.
