Our Bible Study
Originally written by eighteen notable theologians over a period of thirteen years for English-speaking Africans, the lessons have been re-edited for worldwide use. Each lesson consists of printed notes with questions for discussion and a recommended commentary on the book of the Bible being studied. All sixty-six books of the Bible are available!
Rafiki Sunday School
Adapted from the Rafiki Bible Study, Rafiki Sunday School Lessons are designed to guide Sunday school teachers through teaching the Bible.
ACCS Survey
Read the results of 2018-19 comparative study of 24-42 year old alumni from public, secular private, Catholic, evangelical Christian, religious homeschool, and ACCS (classical Christian) schools, on topics of life-choices, preparation, attitudes, values, opinions, and practices. This research seems to confirm what history has repeatedly demonstrated—classical Christian education can influence the course of a home, a community, or a nation
Rafiki Curriculum
The Rafiki Classical Christian Curriculum is a full-orbed, liberal arts educational system. From PreK-12th grade, Rafiki’s curriculum integrates key academic subjects, focusing on the great books of Western civilization, built on the foundation of God’s Word. Students’ minds and affections are fostered to consider what is true, good, and beautiful.
