Welcome to Fathom the Good
An Introduction to the Fathom the Good Curriculum
But the world deprives them, and us, of much needed wisdom from the past.
To help children see clearly amidst the world’s confusion, young hearts and minds must be open to the question of the Good. This is a philosophical question, first contemplated by Plato and Aristotle, that considers higher human purposes. It is a question that modern education ignores or represses.
Grounded in the Western Philosophical Tradition, including the American Founding, the question of the Good underlies everything that Fathom the Good does. Through direct engagement with carefully chosen philosophical texts, our classical high school curriculum goes to the heart of the human condition.
Social media has taught children to think in sound-bites. For young people to once again deliberate carefully, they first must develop skills of critical thinking. Our reasoning tools and mentoring videos develop reading, writing, and debating skills at a college level.
As skills and natural interests develops, students independently approach increasingly complex texts and more probing questions. As knowledge increases, so too does the children’s confidence in the good of God’s creation and in their own Divine purposes.
But real education requires the whole family. Our podcasts for parents provide busy parents with a general understanding and additional insights regarding what their children are learning. And our Family Discussion Guide assists parents in initiating meaningful conversations with children of all ages.
Join us as we show you how Fathom the Good reignites in children, and in their families the question of what is most essential to restoring moral goodness, which is the only real foundation of American freedom.
The question of the Good is central to all that Fathom does. It is the starting point for your children’s better tomorrow.
