Upper School Program
The 7th – 12th grade Upper School uniquely engages students in classical primary texts, deep theological learning, informal and formal logic courses, the study of apologetics and worldview, rhetoric courses, and advanced Latin.
Our Curriculum
—————-
Humanities
The Upper School students begin again with Ancient Civilizations but look at the unfolding of history with greater critical awareness.
Logic & Rhetoric
Logic and Rhetoric are essential tools for effective communication and integral to the classical tradition.
Language Arts
Literature is at the heart of Smith Prep’s English curriculum. The best stories and poems of the Western tradition explore what is most significant in our experience.
Mathematics
Mathematics is the language by which we can observe, study, and understand God’s created order within the universe.
Science
The study of our world through the sciences leads us to worship and serve the Creator. Moreover, human beings have
been called to be faithful stewards of both creation and scientific knowledge.
Classical Languages
At Smith Prep, the study of Latin is not merely an academic requirement but a formative discipline that cultivates precision, attentiveness, and delight in language.
Theological Studies
Since God is the source of all truth, we believe that Christians may confidently pursue truth wherever it may be found with humility, wonder, and joy.
Dual Enrollment
This option gives a high school junior or senior a jump starts on a college education, allowing you to complete college credits while simultaneously earning a high school diploma.
