Classical
The Classical School views education primarily as a process of formation, rather than merely the transmission of information.
We desire our students not only be trained as excellent learners and thinkers, but that they also develop wisdom and virtue. While an education at The Classical School will be demanding, our emphasis is on the quality of instruction not the quantity of material covered. Occasionally referred to as a liberal arts approach, classical education routinely draws upon great works of literature, art, and music to enable our students to discern and grow in their love of what is true, good, and beautiful in this world.
Our curriculum is organized around children’s natural development. At younger ages, we focus on memorization and acquiring basic facts in the core subjects of language arts, math and science. The study of Latin is introduced in third grade. In the middle school years, students begin to apply the knowledge they have learned and to reason critically. Students take formal logic classes during this time frame. Finally, our future high school students will be taught to articulate their ideas persuasively – both orally and in written form. Having mastered the art of learning, they graduate The Classical School prepared for whatever God calls them to do.
