Worldviews of the West: Omnibus Levels I-VI
Our Worldviews of the West program is built on the Bible-based Omnibus curriculum from Veritas Press. Designed for middle and high school students, Omnibus helps them learn from the great works of Western civilization over six years, engaging deeply with ideas rather than just memorizing facts. Guiding students toward wisdom and eloquence, the program helps them think critically and evaluate these ideas in light of Scripture.
Respected by classical Christian educators for teaching history, literature, and theology, Omnibus provides a solid biblical foundation for understanding the worldviews that have shaped the Western world, with each course integrating these subjects into a comprehensive 2.5-unit study.*
Worldviews of the West: First Cycle (Grades 7-9)*
Biblical and Classical Civilizations | Omnibus I
Omnibus I is the first text in the first cycle of the Omnibus curriculum. While students may enroll in any level, Omnibus I is an ideal entry point for middle school to early high schoolers. In this first level, the emphasis is on ancient history and literature from early civilizations through Ancient Rome. Modern literature is also added to add balance and interest. [Available in 2025-2026]
Christianity and the Medieval World | Omnibus II
The emphasis in this course is on the history and literature of the medieval period through the Protestant Reformation. Assignments and discussions come from our study of medieval history and theology, and the primary literature is based on authors of the period. In addition to these masterworks, students also read secondary titles that correlate with and add interest to our study. [Available in 2026-2027]
Modern World Since the Reformation | Omnibus III
Omnibus III is the final text in the first cycle of the Omnibus curriculum. Omnibus III leads the student through the study of the great works of the modern world from the time of the Reformation. Readings and discussions are based on modern British and U.S. history and theology, and the literature is taken from the same period. [Available in 2027-2028]
Worldviews of the West: Second Cycle (Grades 10-12)*
The Ancient World | Omnibus IV
Omnibus IV is the first text in the second cycle of the Omnibus curriculum. Like Omnibus I, this course starts at the beginning of time to the fall of Rome. However, it includes more difficult texts to challenge the growing rhetorical nature of the older student, engaging him or her at a higher academic level. Daily readings, assignments, and other activities lead students to interact with great works of Western Civilization in a challenging, enjoyable, and profitable way. Students continue to practice composition, apply logic, and develop an appreciation for beauty and goodness. [Available in 2025-2026]
The Medieval World | Omnibus V
Omnibus V covers the period of the early church fathers through the Protestant Reformation. High school students receive a greater academic challenge as they progress through more advanced books of the Medieval period. Students are encouraged to interact with various masterworks of the Western world. At this level, they continue to apply and further develop their rhetorical skills, develop aesthetic appreciation, and cultivate a recognition of goodness. [Available in 2026-2027]
The Modern World | Omnibus VI
This is the capstone Omnibus program covering modern U.S. and British history. High school level students delve into more difficult texts selected from the greatest works of Western Civilization. This course is challenging, enjoyable, and profitable. Students polish their critical thinking skills, apply winsome rhetoric to their writing and speaking, and cultivate a philosophy of truth, beauty, and goodness. [Available in 2027-2028]
