Fargo's PreK-12 Classical Christian School

Does your school share your values?

At Capstone, we work with you to train your child's mind and heart to know and desire Christ, to love and serve family, and to steward and improve society.

We Understand

We understand how difficult it is to find a school that works with you in harmony with your values and deep hopes for your child. For over thirty years, the renewal of classical Christian education has helped parents to raise adults who are fulfilled and grateful servants of their families, churches, and communities.

Snider Family Testimonial

This education is unmatched in our region, in my opinion. The curriculum, recitation, teaching them how to speak in front of others, teaching them how to critically think and then be able to support what they believe, the high value placed on virtue, behavior, and being someone who strives for likeness of Christ.

Zinter Family Testimonial
Aaron and Brittany Zinter

I have never observed teaching of this caliber in my entire life. I was very impressed with my child’s teacher. It was incredible how she controlled the room but in such a kind yet firm way. I am so grateful to be part of Capstone and to have our kids there.

Barnett Family Testimonial
Billy and Bethany Barnett

Our child's teacher demonstrates her love and belief in God and her role in educating our children in His name. She honors and respects parents and reaches out with issues and praises in the classroom. She is very approachable for my child and myself with anything we have wanted to discuss.

Knauss Family Testimonial
Corey and Julie Knauss

We take your expectations seriously

When it comes to your child’s education, you expect excellence. We love the pursuit of it. Our professional networks are more than cursory memberships. They are extensions of our faculty and leadership team. Each is a robust community of fellow classical Christian leaders and educators with whom we have sharpening experiences that provide inspiration and accountability, from teacher mentoring and coaching, to curriculum writing to graduate level studies in the classical liberal arts.

Put Capstone to work for your child

We are here to serve you. We want to help you find the right school for your child.

Is Capstone right for your family?

It’s hard to find a school that will work with you to fulfill your deepest hopes for your child, but we know that you are in charge of your child’s education and believe that finding such a school shouldn’t be so difficult. We’d like to help.

Capstone parents choose us because we share their values. Our parents believe that education is meant to cultivate students into virtuous human beings who are equipped to live well. They believe that education should be about formation, not just information. Here, their children learn the fundamentals of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, and then use their developed skills of critical thinking and reason. They study virtue and beauty. They understand truth as the foundation for knowledge and the source of wisdom. Their success is measured in content of character as well as in breadth of knowledge. Learning is a way of life and not a means to an end.

If you share the values of Capstone parents, let’s put Capstone to work for your child. Schedule a visit today.

A Capstone Education

The Capstone experience is an engaging invitation to wonder, to make sense of the world, and to create within the time-tested curriculum and methods of the classical liberal arts academy. It is a holistic experience that weaves academy traditions, scholarship, athletics, and the arts together into a cohesive whole in which Jesus Christ and his Gospel inform and animate life together on campus and in the community.

    Classical Christian Education Defined: Informed Self-Rule
    Description
    In the classical Christian school, we submit the content and methods of education to Christ so that our students come under the spiritual influence of Goodness, Truth, and Beauty as a matter of the typical course of each day. To educate is not merely to transmit information but to form whole persons—minds alive to truth, hearts inclined toward the Good, wills disciplined in virtue, and souls oriented toward the Source of all wisdom. We distinctively, rigorously, and with joyful conviction seek not just to inform but to form well-informed, self-ruling human beings, graduating citizens prepared to steward their responsibilities within the polity of America and, above all, to serve as faithful citizens of the Kingdom of God.

    Classical Christian Education Defined: The Quadrivium
    Description
    This article explores the Quadrivium—arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy—and its central role in classical Christian education as a path to wonder, wisdom, and worship. It explains how these mathematical arts form the mind and soul, grounding modern science in a theological vision of a rational, ordered creation held together by Christ. Through the Quadrivium, students learn not merely to calculate, but to perceive truth, beauty, and meaning in God’s world.

    Classical Christian Education Defined: The Trivium
    Description
    This article introduces the Trivium—grammar, logic, and rhetoric—as the foundational language arts of classical Christian education and explains how each cultivates the uniquely human capacities for understanding, reasoning, and persuasive expression. It also illustrates how these arts are intentionally formed at Capstone from the earliest grades through upper school to prepare students for wise, virtuous, and faithful engagement with the world.
