Pete Hegseth, Fox News Anchor, visited our campus to discuss the new book he has written with David Goodwin, the President of the Association of Classical Christian Schools. In this talk, Pete dives into the incredible value of Classical Christian Education, and how it equips students to flourish in the modern world. He talks about why he has chosen Classical Christian Education for his own kids.

I'm so excited to introduce you to Kristen Andrews. Kristen teaches second grade at Cary Christian and she LOVES what she does. Listen to how she seeks to develop a true love of learning in her students as she connects her love and enthusiasm for math with her Creator.

Join me in a conversation with Rhetoric School History teacher, CJ Zbinden. He dives into how he teaches the American Revolution to Seniors and what it looks like to dive into really important questions through the lens of History. Mr. Zbinden does a great job of helping his students navigate difficult topics by not teaching them WHAT to think, but rather HOW to think. Click here to listen!

I am so excited to welcome our Seminar team to the Podcast. Kate Fredrikson, Patrick Halbrook, Michelle Lasch, and Tom McMahon all discuss how they are seeking to develop the intellectual virtues in our Rhetoric School students through the Seminar Program. Check out how they are engaging with their students in the hopes that they will develop the habits of the mind in a way that develops the habits of the soul. Our prayer is that the Spirit would use this time in our students lives to draw them to their Creator and Savior.

We generally know what it means when we say that someone seems "stoic." But what is stoicism really? How can it point us to truth? How does it fall short? Tom McMahon dives into these questions and discusses this school of philosophy and how he teaches it to 9th Graders!

Welcome back to the Knights Podcast!! We are so excited for season two! Today we have the incredible opportunity to dive into Theology with Mr. Lederer and Mr. Terhune (our Rhetoric School Theology teachers). They are diving into discipleship in the Upper School, connecting their subjects to the hearts of their students, and building relationships with the young men and women in their classes!

Our final edition of the Knights Podcast for this season invites you into a conversation with Mr. Halbrook, Mr. Terhune, Mrs. Clarkson, and Class of 2022 Graduate, Alaina Smith. They discuss the challenges, values, and outcomes of our Senior Academic Capstone, the Senior Thesis! Alaina gives her perspective on the experience and discusses how through the process she has learned what it looks like to engage in gracious dialogue with people with whom she disagrees. We hope you enjoy this episode, and that you have a great summer!

One 8th Grade Capstone at Cary Christian is an interdisciplinary study of the Resurrection. The students dive into arguments for and against the Resurrection and engage in a lively debate. Our prayer is that this debate helps them see the Resurrection as truly reasonable and that it strengthens their faith in the God who rose from the dead. Listen to 8th Grade Biblical History teacher, Jonathan Payne, discuss this great debate!

"Already, not yet." How do you teach this beautiful truth of the coming Kingdom of God to 4th Graders? Mrs. Beth Latigue does a beautiful job explaining how the novel Prince Caspian can communicate this truth to our students. Hear how she points 4th Graders to Christ through Literature!

Flannery O'Connor is a southern Christian author who develops characters through short story to communicate deep truths about our reality. Her shocking writing may not be easy, but it is engaging and convicting. Kristen Clarkson does a great job showing her Seniors what it looks like to engage with and learn from this remarkable author.
