Coming Soon....

For the last ten years Via Potentia has developed as a life-improving system of fitness and self-defense. This year it is transforming into an online, non-profit educational academy that is grounded in (and teaches) sound philosophy and serves people in these three groups:

1. K-12, starting with parents seeking supplemental, solid education for their junior high through high school children (whether they be in public, private or home school)
2. Seminary/Undergraduate: Adults seeking religious education and formation leading toward a certificate as a lay Christian Catechist, or ordination as a deacon or priest
3. Adults seeking life-enrichment courses in philosophy, religion, mathematics, science, English, history, etc.

Our emphasis is upon developing the person's ability to think well through training in philosophy. The philosophy courses are designed to be understandable to high school juniors and seniors, but courses are open to other ages as well, and we are planning to include other standard school subjects for grades 9-12 in 2019.
