Our launch-year certificate keeps a cohort of 24 learners together through Scripture, doctrine, culture, and spiritual formation. Students begin with the Waypoint Introduction Seminar, progress through seven 16-week courses, and complete an oral capstone for each class before branching into associate specializations.
Begin with a two-week introduction seminar covering tools, policies, and study rhythms. Courses run 16 weeks with shared checkpoints; readings and assignments are self-paced between those checkpoints.
After completing the Biblical Formation core, you remain connected to your cohort while pursuing an associate degree pathway, then gather again for the associate research seminar.
Seven 16-week courses (4 cr each), plus a two-week introduction seminar (1 cr) and an integrated apologetics seminar (1 cr). Total 30 credits. Cohort-paced with flexibility for weekly self-paced work.
Total: 30 credits
After year one, choose a focused pathway while staying connected to your cohort. Courses are in development; expect detailed syllabi soon.
Each course culminates in a topical capstone conversation. Students record a 30-minute audio or video discussion with one or two peers from their cohort. Faculty review individual contributions as an oral examination. If mastery is unclear, we assign remedial work or schedule a one-on-one follow up before granting course credit.
Courses are delivered in English. As funding allows, we add translated materials or supplementary resources.
Every course stays on a shared calendar so no one falls behind, yet students complete most work in the windows that fit their week.
Between checkpoints, you guide your own schedule. Lectures, readings, and practice exercises can be completed whenever you have margin.
Each course culminates in a recorded dialogue that serves as an oral examination. Faculty review every participant to confirm mastery.
