Overview of Program
ENGAGE emphasizes a broad range of creative disciplines, offering a series of enriching classes designed to appeal to a wide audience, which students attend during their dedicated full day of programming each week.
Who Qualifies for the Program?
Colorado provides funding for homeschool enrichment programs to be offered to parents for free. Students who are not enrolled in public schools (home-school and private) or another publicly funded educational program qualify to attend a homeschool enrichment program like ENGAGE. Parents don't pay anything for their students to attend ENGAGE for one full day per week of programming, open to K-12th grade.

Worldview and Apologetics
At the end of each day all students are invited to join us for our one-hour Biblical Worldview lesson. In these lessons, students will learn the abundant evidence for the truth of God’s Word and will be equipped to share their faith and “be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15) The worldview class is great for strengthening the faith of students or introducing them to the overwhelming evidence for God and the Bible.
