Changing the World for Christ


Mars Hill Academy Rhetoric School (grades 9-12) is the culmination of a classical, Christian education. During these years, students are prepared to winsomely and persuasively communicate truth to influence the world for God’s glory through formal rhetoric classes and public speaking opportunities. Our philosophy and curriculum guide us toward preparing students to be loving, thinking adults. 

Students delve deeply into some of the most challenging and influential works of literature ever written, wrestle with philosophical and worldview issues, and practice the art of listening, writing, and speaking well.

Each year builds upon the previous, with students progressively polishing and perfecting their communication skills. Biblical Interpretation, Apologetics, and Biblical Worldview capstone classes all reinforce the integrated classical and Christian education Mars Hill students receive. The culmination of this training is when each student writes, presents, and defends a senior thesis to an audience of students, faculty, and parents.

Mars Hill Academy students graduate holistically prepared for college, work, service, or any future endeavor. Click here for the Mars Hill School Profile.
