Classical Curriculum
Classical education fosters eudaimonia, or human flourishing. By reading the Western Canon, students enter direct conversation with the great thinkers who have come before. Those who sought to answer difficult questions give students direct access into the triumphs and travails of the human condition. The goal of classical education is to guide and direct students in the attainment of their ultimate purpose: becoming more human. In contrast, modern education generally tends to teach “subjects” or “skills.”
We use Memoria Press for the core of our curriculum. This is a Christian curriculum with an emphasis on the traditional liberal arts of language, mathematics, and the cultural heritage of the Christian West.
