About our Curriculum
Classical Education in a Renaissance Classroom
Classical education prepares young people to live in freedom and independence, engaging them in the highest matters and the deepest questions of truth, justice, virtue, and beauty. Academically, a classical education encompasses:
- A content-rich, traditional curriculum, including the use of classical books and art
- Concentrated study of the core academic disciplines: history, literature, mathematics, and science
- An appreciation for—and study of—the visual and performing arts
- A strong emphasis on language, literacy, writing, and mastery of the English language
- Reading of the great books in literature and primary source documents in history
- Socratic teaching by kind-hearted teachers who are subject matter experts
Classical education is a conscious return to the ancient goal of education: teaching children to think and learn for themselves by imparting to them the tools of learning. The goal is to promote the type of inquiry that ultimately allows students to discover for themselves that which is true and beautiful.
