Mission Statement

Columbus Classical Academy inculcates in our students, through a genuine and rigorous classical education in the liberal arts and sciences, the knowledge and virtue upon which independent, responsible, and joyful lives are built, in the firm belief that such lives are the foundation of a free and flourishing republic.

Motto

Our motto, Veritas et Virtus, means “truth and virtue.” This orients us toward our mission.

Truth

We are pursuing Truth. We desire Truth. We know there is objective Truth that can be known. We know that the Truth will set us free, and only in this freedom can we live abundantly.

Virtue

Knowing this Truth will lead us into a more virtuous life. Virtue, in turn, allows us to better know the Truth. By pursuing the seven classical virtues we have adopted, we will become worthy of undertaking pursuit of the great transcendentals: the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.
