Philosophy Adventure

Philosophy Adventure

Big questions deserve more than shallow answers. Philosophy Adventure, a full-credit high school course, introduces your teen to the pre-Socratic philosophers whose ideas shaped Western thought while teaching him to evaluate those ideas through the lens of Scripture.

Rather than simply memorizing names and dates, your teen will explore the questions these early thinkers wrestled with: What is truth? How did the world begin? What can we know with certainty? Each lesson compares philosophical ideas with biblical teaching, helping students develop discernment while learning to analyze competing worldviews.

At the heart of the course is the Reader, a carefully researched text that introduces major philosophers, historical context, and key concepts in an engaging, approachable format. The Student Workbook reinforces learning through vocabulary work, mapping activities, freewriting exercises, and structured assignments that strengthen comprehension and critical thinking.

The included Write Think Speak Journal guides students in developing and defending their own ideas. Through regular writing and reflection, your teen will learn to organize thoughts, support arguments, and communicate clearly—skills that transfer well beyond philosophy studies.

Digital resources include quizzes, answer keys, and additional instructional support, making the course straightforward to implement and assess.

Philosophy Adventure is particularly well-suited for upper high school students who are ready to engage deeply with ideas, evaluate worldviews, and strengthen their writing. By the end of the course, your teen won't simply know what the philosophers believed—he'll be better equipped to think carefully, write persuasively, and evaluate ideas for himself.
