Students master phonics; diagram sentences; read classic literature; learn Latin; study music, art, physical education, and more — all in a specific order that helps students develop a deep understanding of subjects.
Our 1,100-square-foot classrooms offer abundant natural light and plenty of room for activities. Desks face the teacher, who leads students in lessons that build a broad base of knowledge and ignite curiosity.
As students go deeper into academic subjects, they learn the art of dialogue in seminar-style courses, begin examining source material and annotating classic literature, and wrestle with the “why” of mathematical and scientific concepts.
Fine art, music, and modern language are part of the core curriculum, and our Lower School students have physical education every day. These are fully integrated subjects that make up a complete, classical education.
What Is Classical Education?
Classical education is a time-tested approach that has shaped great minds for over two thousand years. Built around the liberal arts, it progresses through three stages that match the child’s natural development.
Mastering foundational knowledge: phonics, facts, narrative history, and the habits of learning.
Learning to think critically, analyze arguments, and evaluate evidence through discussion and formal logic.
Communicating with clarity, persuasion, and grace—writing, speaking, and defending ideas.
