CLASS INFORMATION
Our Classes
At Noble U, we believe curious young minds deserve an education centered on biblical principles. One that teaches them to analyze information, question assumptions, and form thoughtful opinions.
That’s why we offer in-person and online high school courses designed to engage, challenge, and develop students’ knowledge and perspective in the following areas:
US History
Takes your student on a journey beginning in the 1400’s that leads to European contact with Native Americans and ends with the inauguration of Donald Trump. Along the journey, the course highlights major historical events that have shaped American history, and why they matter in our current cultural context. I begin the class with this truth: There is nothing new under the sun (Ecc. 1:9). America’s history is complicated and requires critical thinking to be able to discern the good, the bad, and the ugly.
World History
World History guides students through the story of human history, starting with creation and continuing to the present. Students will analyze five key themes throughout history from a biblical perspective: justice, power, citizenship, movements, and world religions. As they trace the major patterns in world history, they will see how those themes point more and more clearly to the triumph of the kingdom of God. This class will always incorporate the news of the day to show real-world application of the course material and why it matters in the 21st century.
Civics
Prepares your student for responsible citizenship with a discussion of the principles and mechanics of a constitutional republic. Material discussed includes the Constitution, in-depth insights into the three branches of government, political parties, elections, foreign policy, and more, all from a biblical perspective. Current events and breaking news incorporated into every class to bring the material ALIVE and give it RELEVANCE!
Christian Ethics
Leads your student on a deep dive into theology, Christian worldview, and Christian ethical thinking. Once that foundation is built, we jump into the hot-button moral issues of the day: Abortion, Human Sexuality & Gender, Euthanasia, Environmentalism, Work and Vocation, Poverty, Human Cloning, Artificial Insemination, and Designer Babies. This class is best suited for Juniors and Seniors… the deep end of the pool.
World Religions & Apologetics
Most of the people on Earth are not Christians…but the vast majority of them do belong to another religion, including “irreligion.” How much do you know about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Chinese Folk Religions, Indigenous Tribal Religions, and the New Age Movement? What about traditional Christians and non-trinitarian components of “Christianity" in general, like Protestantism, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists. The first part of this course will focus on establishing a general understanding of the world’s biggest religions…and how biblical Christians can effectively reach out to them.
The remaining part of the course will focus on creating an effective Christian apologetic. We will look at the major components of apologetics in terms of defending the faith, but we also need consider the unique times that we find ourselves in, because some of our more traditional approaches are losing effectiveness in an increasingly post-Christian America.
