“Soul formation for a flourishing life.”

(Psalm 1)

In short, modern, progressive educators do a fair job of preparing students for employment and they try to influence children to be good, moral people. Classical Christian educators focus on shaping wise human beings with the ability to discern right from wrong and the skills to succeed wherever their passions may lead them. Watch the video above to learn more about the classical difference.

A Tradition of Excellence in Classical Christian Education

Faith

We anchor every part of our community in a deep trust in God. Through Scripture, prayer, and Christ-centered teaching, students learn to see the world through the lens of faith and to walk confidently in God’s truth.

Virtue

We cultivate strong character and warriors for Christ by training students to love what is good and to choose what is right. Through discipline, wisdom, and meaningful habits, we guide students toward lives marked by integrity, courage, and moral excellence.

Gratitude

We foster hearts that recognize God’s goodness in all things. Students learn to practice thankfulness in their work, relationships, and service, growing into joyful individuals who reflect Christ’s love to those around them.
