About Aletheia
Aletheia Christian College restores education to its biblical purpose—discipleship in truth.
Our Vision
Shaping Minds, Shepherding Hearts
We envision a generation of teachers and leaders who think Christianly, live faithfully, and serve courageously in every sphere of culture.
Our Mission
The mission of Aletheia Christian College is to train students from every nation to think critically, to examine God’s Word thoroughly, to worship God wholeheartedly, to proclaim the gospel in word and deed, to teach Biblically, and to serve the Church worldwide.
Our Foundation
Who is Christ? Will I serve Him? These are the foundation of learning at Aletheia. Our philosophy explores all of God’s orderly world and equips graduates to choose whom they will serve. We prize freedom of conscience and rigorous discourse while remaining anchored in Scripture and the community of faith.
The Fundamentals of Education
At Aletheia, we begin where true education must begin—with presuppositions rooted in the revealed Word of God. Truth is not discovered by human effort alone but unveiled by divine revelation, and that truth brings freedom. Our one-room model revives an older way of learning that unites ages and subjects under the authority of Scripture. When theology governs knowledge, learning becomes discipleship, and classrooms become sanctuaries of renewal.
Within this framework, Aletheia’s students explore the interwoven disciplines of theology, history, and economy—seeing how biblical order shapes culture, law, and work. We embrace unity within diversity, preparing learners to lead in churches, schools, and marketplaces around the world. Grounded in the pioneering faith that shaped both the Church and early America, we teach that genuine liberty flows from truth, and truth flourishes under Christ’s lordship.
The Six Virtues of Theopaidia (Core Values)
At Aletheia, education is not a transaction of information but a transformation of the soul. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by community, our learning model follows the pattern of Theopaidia—God-centered formation. Each course, practicum, and conversation is designed to move students from knowledge to understanding to wisdom, forming educators who teach from conviction and lead with grace. Our six core virtues express the heart of this calling.
Formation
Education is formation, not performance; every lesson is discipleship, every teacher a shepherd. (Col 1:27)
Freedom
True freedom is obedience to truth; we teach from conviction, not compliance. (Jn 8:32)
Truth
Scripture is the foundation and integrating center of every discipline. (Prov 2:6)
Renewal
Learning is sanctification: the renewing of the mind and restoration of purpose. (Rom 12:2)
Community
We learn as the Body: family-structured, multi-age, interdependent. (Eph 4:25)
Courage
We stand with humility and boldness to teach truth in love. (Josh 1:9)
These virtues are more than ideals—they form our life together. As we walk in Formation, Freedom, Truth, Renewal, Community, and Courage, we join God’s work of restoring education to its sacred purpose. We invite you to pray with us, partner with us, and participate in this quiet reformation of hearts and minds.
Global Impact and Future Outlook
Training disciples to teach the nations.
From our beginnings in Idaho to our expansion east through the Shepherd’s Gate Campus, Aletheia Christian College has always seen education as part of the Great Commission.
Our graduates serve across cultures and continents—bringing the light of truth into classrooms, missions, and communities where Christ-centered education is desperately needed. Each new one-room school represents not merely an institution, but a renewed vision of formation rooted in Scripture and lived in service.
Global Reach
Aletheia alumni have taught in mission schools in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Egypt, and the United States, equipping students to think biblically and live faithfully in diverse contexts.
Growing Network of One-Room Schools
Through our One-Room School Intensive and Theopaidia Institute, new schools are emerging in Idaho, Utah, Missouri, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Texas—and more are forming each season as families reclaim education as discipleship.
Future Formation and Innovation
Aletheia is developing new online and hybrid models to serve believers worldwide. Our aim is to mentor teachers and leaders who will ignite renewal in churches, schools, and communities across the globe.
As we look to the future, Aletheia remains devoted to forming teachers who carry truth into every nation. Whether through local one-room schools or digital classrooms that cross oceans, our mission endures: to shape minds and shepherd hearts for the glory of God and the renewal of His Church worldwide.
