Classical Education

What is Classical Education?
Classical education is language-focused and follows a specific three-part pattern: the mind must be first supplied with facts and images, then given the logical tools for organization of facts, and finally equipped to express conclusions. In the Classical Education model, children learn best when information is presented chronologically and examined sequentially through a four-year cycle of study.

What is PAideia?

The word PAideia (pie-day-uh) is a Greek word meaning “educating the whole.” We seek to partner with parents in educating the whole student: academically, spiritually, socially. We believe that all creation gives glory to the Creator; therefore all works of literature, art, music and architecture are studied with Christian principles, more commonly referred to as a Biblical Worldview.

Classical Education + PAideia = ?

When PAideia methodology and classical education is integrated, the product rendered is a comprehensive and coherent system of study encompassing history, science, and literature. Ultimately the student is prepared for any field of study because of an academic and spiritual foundation built on Biblical truth, and God’s wisdom. (Luke 2:52)
