What is classical education?

Educating the whole person

The intention of a classical education is to affect the whole person by providing a well-rounded liberal arts education. This is achieved by offering a curriculum that emphasizes the Trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, as well as the study of Latin, Math, Science, and the fine arts.

Age-appropriate learning

Classical education uses age-appropriate learning tools in each of the three stages of the Trivium. This commitment is a large part of why classical education has been so effective through the centuries and why classically educated students find learning a delight.

Christ-Centered Curriculum

Hidden in all types of education is a set of beliefs and values that communicate to students what is true about God, the world, and themselves. Our source of truth is the Bible and we partner with parents to disciple students to love what is good, pursue Christ-like character, and glorify the Lord.

“...Education is not primarily a heady project concerned with providing information, rather, education is most fundamentally a matter of formation, a task of shaping and creating a certain kind of people. What makes them a distinctive kind of people is what they love or desire — what they envision as “the good life” or the ideal picture of human flourishing.”
