At Veritas, we’ve long recognized that rhetoric is an integral part of classical education: the art of applying wisdom to persuade others with words and actions. But too often, the concept of “rhetoric” is misunderstood as mere persuasion or performance. In reality, it’s much deeper—and much more urgent for today’s students.
Developed and taught by Dr. Michael Collender, beloved Veritas Scholars Academy teacher, TEDx speaker, and co-creator of the A Rhetoric of Love curriculum, this course is the culmination of more than two decades of classical teaching experience.
Whether your student is just entering the world of classical learning or has thrived on Omnibus and Logic courses for years, this course is built to serve them. Flexible, interactive, and deeply rooted in biblical truth, it offers a new standard for rhetorical training designed not just to inform, but to transform.
