There is a fabulous study of the early church and its history, which very few non-seminarians know anything about. One pastor has learned to check the historical accuracy of his upcoming sermon with his 16 year-old daughter because of the vast knowledge, understanding and recall she has due to her KONOS studies in HOW!

- Art
- English Studies
- Bible Studies
- Latin
Every subject is still sifted through the grid of the Christian world view.
HOW students quickly realise that they are developing skills which are preparing them for adult life, tertiary education, careers etc. as they learn to organise and plan, research, set goals, think independently, present papers etc.
Most importantly, HOW students grow in their thinking skills, developing maturity in their discussions and debates, while all the time being mentored by the parents through the most helpful Parent Guide.

Personal Testimony:
“We discovered that our daughter adopted her faith as her own, grew in understanding of important life matters, such as how governments work from ancient times to today, how mistakes made in history still affect us today etc. We do not see these manuals, KONOS HOW I and II, as history studies, but rather as tools that develop young adults into mature, independent thinking, and most importantly establishing their own relationship with God.”

KONOS HOW Volume I – Parent Guide
The KONOS HOW Parent Guide guides parents in meaningful dialogue/discussion. Moms and dads easily learn to teach from the heart. The KONOS HOW Parent Guide helps the parent to mentor their young adult student through the transition from being taught, to self study, and yet at the same time involving the parent in shared learning and opportunities for mentoring. Important life lesson topics are covered as the Parent Guide presents topics of discussion for parents to be involved in, as their young adults study and mature into adult life.
