The Rhythm of Learning Becomes the Rhythm of Life

Each new year follows the same 10-4-1 structure—offering two full terms of study, practicum, and retreat. Updated calendars are released each fall through the Current Students Portal and distributed to faculty and practicum partners.

From Idaho’s mountains to Virginia’s valleys—and across every online classroom—the same cadence of study, service, and reflection unites Aletheia’s community. It is the pattern through which education becomes sanctification and learning becomes worship.
