Most Rhetoric stage (Grades 10 - 12) history classes are “Ad Fontes” classes. “Ad Fontes” is a Latin term meaning “back to the sources.” An Ad Fontes class primarily uses original source documents to study the person, event, or era being studied rather than a textbook interpretation.

The Importance of History
History is a foundational course of study, for it is God’s witness of His redemptive purposes and how he has and is working those purposes out and bringing them to consummation in Jesus Christ. History also develops a student’s view of the world and of God’s love, goodness, and faithfulness. It is through the study of history that we learn to hope – for history teaches us to “look back” and learn of God’s providence toward the ancient peoples and civilizations of the world. Seeing God’s hand guide historical events enables us to “look out” at our own lives and recognize God’s gracious and providential dealings toward us today. We can then “look up” in hope because of the enduring love, goodness, and faithfulness of our Lord who will keep us through all of our tomorrows.
