Canterbury House Chair
Welcome to the Canterbury House of Studies!
We partner with families as they seek to root their child’s heart and mind in the knowledge and love of God. We offer a range of courses from a historic Protestant perspective, particularly Prayer Book Anglicanism. We have courses designed to enrich knowledge and appreciation of the Anglican tradition, as well as biblical studies in God’s Great Covenant, Old and New Testament Surveys, and learning alongside C.S. Lewis. All of our classes are open to anyone interested! We pray you’ll pull up a chair and join us in the 2026-2027 school year!
Fr. Nathan is an Anglican clergyman, with young children of his own and a heart for teaching, who is in his third year of teaching courses in the Scholé Great Hall and Canterbury House.

Mrs. Elizabeth Kaufman
Elizabeth Kaufman holds a M.Ed. and earned her BA in Spanish from Hope College with minors in Music (piano performance) and Elementary Ed.. A missional mindset led her to work in various countries, teaching art and music in an American School in the Dominican Republic, grades 2 and 3 in a British school in Tanzania, and Spanish at a Montessori school in Michigan. Elizabeth went on to choose motherhood and homeschooling as a full-time pursuit and has loved teaching her four sons at home for the past eight years. Throughout this time, she has grown increasingly committed to Classical Christian education and has developed a love for “living” literature and biblical scholarship. She has also combined her love of music and scripture to compose several collections of songs for students and families to learn scripture together and to sing through liturgical seasons. She believes that every course of study is an invitation to witness God’s redemptive work in the world, to be formed and transformed by it, and to engage with Him in it.
Elizabeth lives in Kenya where her husband teaches biblically-based church discipleship and her sons enjoy living and learning “in the bush.” When not teaching or studying classical ed, you can find Elizabeth trail running, composing new music, doing laundry, hosting meals for friends and travelers, or attempting (poorly) to ride motorbikes with her boys. You can listen to her music for learning scripture at www.musictomemorize.org.

About the Canterbury House of Studies
Scholé Academy offers courses to students from a wide range of Christian traditions. And because of this, we know we also need to provide small enclaves where students can learn with like-minded believers in the conviction of their faith.
The Canterbury House of Studies sits within our classical academy as a small collection of courses offered in the Anglican tradition. The collection of courses offered here will provide students with a path from which they can explore their Christian faith, church history, art, culture, music, and philosophy.
If you have any questions about the Canterbury House of Studies, please feel free to email [email protected].
