Rhetoric Courses

The minimum age for rhetoric courses is 14. Recommended for 9th - 12th graders.

Integrated Courses

Based on the award-winning Tapestry of Grace ​classical homeschool curriculum, Lucerna Academy provides a classical Christian education using an integrated unit study approach, with the history of the world as the core organizational theme. Rather than studying subjects independently, students study the literature, geography, fine art, philosophy, and worldview of a people as they also study the history of that people, making rich connections and achieving a deeper understanding.

Where do we start? If you are new to integrated education, you are welcome to jump in with any of our four year plans.
​Do we have to enroll in all the classes for the year plan? No. You may choose any class you like. However, if your child is enrolled in one of our year-plan Tapestry writing courses at the dialectic or rhetoric level, your child needs to also be enrolled in one of the Lucerna history courses or be studying Tapestry history on a schedule that parallels ours. See our schedule HERE.
What is the difference between rhetoric and honors courses? Our rhetoric students cover about 75% of what the Tapestry of Grace curriculum assigns, while honors students read 100% of Tapestry recommendations. In addition, when exams are given, honors students take a more aggressive exam, often writing an essay, in addition to the question portion of the exam.

Save Money on
​Living Books


We help you manage the expense of getting the wonderful living books that our discussion courses use by providing you with a recommended book lists that identifies the ISBN number and which weeks the books are used, so you will know which books you should purchase and which books you might be able to borrow from your library system. These book lists are sent to enrolled students a few months before classes begin, giving you plenty of time to plan.
