Study Opportunities at Caedmon:

Caedmon Honors Institute offers two programs of study, both of which are deeply rooted in the Great Western Tradition and informed by orthodox Christianity. Our courses are fully accredited through our academic partnership with Southeastern University and are available to high school graduates and select high school seniors. Course auditors are welcome (fees apply).

The Armory 

The Armory is a Christian worldview gap year program that includes the following courses: Mere Christianity: A Survey of Essential Doctrine; Christian Apologetics I & II; Introduction to Philosophy; and Biblical Ethics I & II. In addition, two Imaginative Apologetics electives will be offered: C.S. Lewis in Literature and Film, and J.R.R. Tolkien in Literature and Film. 

AA and BA in Great Texts of the Western Tradition 

Against the fascinating backdrop of the Western Civilization timeline, students will be immersed in the Great Texts—the most influential works of history, literature, natural science, theology, and philosophy from Antiquity through the Modern era. Throughout this diverse and sequential course of study, students will explore fundamental questions of human existence and glean truths that transcend time and place.
