Press Release for Roman Roads Press and Kepler Education: Scott Postma named CEO for Kepler Education.

Classical Christian Education is a time-honored approach to education which was taken up by free human beings and which also cultivated free human beings for the past three millennia in Western civilization until the secular revolution in the 19th century where it was replaced by slavish job-training.

A calendar is a way of marking time by reference to important events in our lives. What many may not immediately recognize, however, is the way in which a calendar is liturgical.

Early Enrollment for 2022-2023 is now open at Kepler.

Kepler Education continues to honor the rhetorical tradition with our Second Annual Summer Speech Competition for high school students and an opportunity to win the Leonberg Prize for Excellence in Rhetoric.

The path to a free and happy life begins with a liberal arts education.

This is the second post in a series where Scott Postma explains the meaning of a classical liberal arts education, its importance, and its benefits, namely that it has the potential to cultivate a wise and virtuous people whose resultant happiness produces a free and flourishing society.

Modern education claims to be secular. That is, it claims to be neutral, only providing students with the knowledge they need for living in the world but without any religious or philosophical bias. Modern educators claim this is because the religious and philosophical aspects of the student’s life should remain private and not interfere with or influence his public education. This is not only untrue, but absurd. At best, it is impossible. At worst, it is dishonest.

In this episode, we discuss the way in which education, properly understood, requires leisure (Skolé) so students can apprehend, learn to appreciate, and finally, approximate their lives to that which is good, true, and beautiful in the world.

There is a light for this dark age. The light of the gospel, which cannot be extinguished. And the best vehicle for advancing this light is education, specifically classical Christian education.

We are witnessing the post-modern project collapse in on itself and left unchecked it will bring a new dark age in its wake. In this inaugural episode of the Consortium Podcast, Kepler Education president, Scott Postma, and Kepler student advisor, Joffre Swait, discuss the current effort to erase the past on which the pillars of Western civilization have been built by censoring literature and scapegoating those who challenge their power. They argue the light of the gospel, which is the only hope for this coming dark age, is best dispensed through classical Christian education.

Kepler Life is student life. We build up the Kepler Community, sharpen key life skills, and of course, provide an outlet for fun. Any students enrolled in Kepler classes are able to connect with each other through service, clubs, and professional development activities.

A transcript is just a one-page summary of your student’s academic record, including information about what your student took, when he took it, his grade for each course, and his GPA, both yearly and cumulative. It should include information about completed work as well as courses your student is currently taking.

The way Kepler supports teachers whose courses satisfy credits on our diploma track is unique and will provide a remarkable benefit to parents and students.

At Kepler, we are not only advocates of flipping the classroom, but we are also advocates of flipping the entire school. To say it another way, our goal is to not only maximize the use of classroom time, but to also eliminate the impediments of “the school” so teachers can focus on educating students. And of all the characteristics that make Kepler a unique option for parents and students, this characteristic is key.

Kepler provides students with abundant flexibility by offering a plethora of high-quality teachers who will teach exceptional courses at a variety of times within a range costs, and with a number of Christian traditions to choose from.

Modern technology has given us opportunities to educate the next generation in ways that could have been only imagined 60 years ago.

Kepler is unique because it offers students a liberal arts (or classical) education. That is, our teachers do the Christ-centered work of preparing students for life by guiding them through the great primary texts of the Western tradition in an effort to help them appreciate, apprehend—and approximate their lives with—that which is true, good, and beautiful in the cosmos.

What will it look like to be a teacher at Kepler? Though it is quite plausible there are more variations in kind than will be considered here, this post examines three kinds of teachers who will teach at Kepler.

Since a different career path is not an option for those who are called to teach, Kepler’s mission is to serve those committed teachers by meeting specific challenges facing online classical educators.

Taking the time to think through and state what a company believes and how those beliefs will affect their decisions and actions can be a powerful exercise toward cultivating the company’s moral imagination, increasing its effectiveness, achieving its mission, and fulfilling its vision.

Kepler is rolling out a robust platform for independent teachers to them serve their students better. Here is our launch timeline.

Our vision is to advance quality online classical education. Our mission is to leverage the unique technology of our age to help educators and students do their best work in their respective roles.
