Are You a “Classical” School?

Although much of our curriculum is based on classical texts such as Homer, Virgil, Plutarch, Herodotus, Xenophon, et al., and all students study Latin, we are not a classical school in the popular sense. There is a common approach to classical education that is not very classical, where schools pack a catalogue of very grand material into a very narrow calendar, and apply these courses to students too young to appreciate them. We hold that classical education should unfold slowly and thoughtfully, being more about quality than quantity, espousing a traditional approach in education that is proportionate to the way that human beings teach and learn. Our school’s objective is to make the classical works enjoyable, and what is more, to capture the wonderful and delightful interplay of all things in every subject, because all knowledge derives from God.
