In this episode, Karen Elliott interviews Veritas Scholars Academy teacher Corey Piper as he shares his experience leading students on a mission trip to the Rafiki Village in Kenya. Through classroom service, Rafiki Bible Studies, and friendships with African students and teachers, he witnessed how classical Christian education and daily Scripture study shape both minds and hearts. Corey reflects on the beauty of Rafiki’s model—combining discipleship, education, and community—and why he hopes more families will experience it firsthand. 

Educators and families interested in classical Christian education may also explore the curriculum, teacher training, and scholarly resources published by Classical Academic Press, which serve schools, homeschools, and classical programs around the world.
