WHAT IS CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN EDUCATION?

Definition of Classical Christian Education*

Classical Christian education aims to cultivate virtue and wisdom in students so that they will live for the glory of God, flourishing as human beings and loving both God and neighbor. It pursues these goals through an ordered exploration of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful that is grounded in the liberal arts tradition and that forms students’ affections and the habits of lifelong learning.

*As defined by the Society for Classical Learning

A Standard-Bearer of Classical Christian Education in the VA, MD, and DC Metro Area

We are an independent private Christian school located near the intersection of Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties and easily accessed by surrounding areas. Our faith in Jesus Christ shapes every aspect of our curriculum and culture. Our classical model of education is a robust, relational, and time-honored approach designed to equip students with the tools they need to think for themselves and to communicate articulately. Our dedicated and accomplished faculty model service to God and others in love. Our program cultivates students’ hearts, souls, and minds in Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.

We support the spiritual, academic, and social formation of students through relationships with qualified mentor teachers, small class sizes, and an academic program that is both challenging and grounded in Christ’s teachings.

OUR VALUES

We help students to know God and to continually deepen their love and faith in Him.

The combination of a rigorous classical program, skilled teachers, and small class sizes prepares graduates to excel in college and in life.

We seek to develop students who are actively engaged in caring for the needs of classmates, younger students, community members, and the world.
