Classical Education Distinctives

Classical education aims to form children into flourishing humans by cultivating a philosophic habit of mind in each student. This means that classical education is concerned with more than mere job preparation, it is primarily concerned with discerning truth.

The classical method is distinct in that it provides children with:

Structure that rewards self-control and personal diligence

  • Students thrive as they meet a higher standard in the classroom.
  • Homework and project work emphasize self-reliance and a love of discovery and learning.
  • A lifelong work ethic is encouraged at a young age.

Content and methods that develop thinking, articulate students

  • Time-tested methods that have been staples in Western culture and the Church since the second century.
  • Socratic teaching, debate, subject integration, and written and oral defense all provide the mental exercise to cultivate powerful minds.
  • Students see the big picture by studying history, philosophy, literature, art, theology, Latin, Greek, logic and rhetoric, math and science.
  • An emphasis on cultivating wisdom rather than just teaching facts and skills.

An environment that challenges students and creates a love of learning

Campus Life
  • The school culture demands moral virtue, decorum, respect, discipline, and studiousness among the students and faculty—and simultaneously produces a spirit of wonder and a desire to know that which is good, true, and beautiful.
