Black Intellectual Tradition

Recover the heritage; inspire action! There is a shared story that has been largely forgotten: our common heritage in the classics and the liberal arts. In The Black Intellectual Tradition, readers will discover how this heritage has united, instructed, and inspired us all—slave and free, White and Black—over the few centuries of our history as a nation. The Black Intellectual Tradition offers back to us all a shared relationship with our living tradition in the Greco-Roman and Christian classics.

Well-Ordered Language

What if the study of grammar could harness a child’s natural curiosity? What if it could be a source of delight to children? The Well-Ordered Language curriculum presents the study of language in a way that appeals to a child’s inborn curiosity and desire to collect, gather, and order. The curriculum presents grammar in a clear, orderly way, while simultaneously seeking to cultivate a child’s wonder of language by presenting instruction in the context of narrative and language, attractive illustrations, and samples taken from classic children’s literature and poetry.

Writing & Rhetoric

The Writing & Rhetoric series method employs fluent reading, careful listening, models for imitation, and progressive steps. It assumes that students learn best by reading excellent, whole-story examples of literature and by growing their skills through imitation. Each exercise is intended to impart a skill (or tool) that can be employed in all kinds of writing and speaking. The exercises are arranged from simple to more complex. What’s more, the exercises are cumulative, meaning that later exercises incorporate the skills acquired in preceding exercises. This series is a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric.

Centripetal Press

Centripetal Press founder and author John D. Mays has identified three areas of focus that have proven to be true game changers for student academic achievement: Mastery, Integration, and Wonder. These three core principles are at the heart of all Centripetal Press textbooks. Centripetal offers physical science, earth science, physics and chemistry!
