Why choose a classical Christian education?

 

Our goal in classical Christian education is to form our students in virtue and to cultivate in them a love for what is good, true and beautiful.

The Trivium

The classical model is derived from the Liberal Arts tradition. In our context, we apply the Trivium: Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric—acknowledging the various stages of growth. These three stages focus on understanding language, learning to think well, and communicate truth with eloquence.

Story and Tradition

Classical education revolves around what are often referred to as the Great Books. These books are written by authors such as Homer, Dante, Aristotle, and St. Augustine. These books embody an enduring wisdom that shapes both the heart and mind. Furthermore, we study Latin, write in cursive, and practice fine arts.

“whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”  Philippians 4:8
