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

Nestled near the crossroads of Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties, our independent private K-12 classical Christian school offers a unique educational experience that families in the surrounding areas can easily access. Our unwavering faith in Jesus Christ deeply influences our curriculum and culture, shaping every aspect of our approach.

We employ a robust, relational, and time-honored classical education method, empowering students to think critically and express themselves eloquently. Our dedicated and accomplished faculty, who exemplify service to God and others through love, guide our students in an environment that promotes intellectual and moral growth.

Our program nurtures not only the minds but also the hearts and souls of our students. Through the exploration of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, we provide a comprehensive educational experience that goes beyond the conventional classroom setting. This holistic approach ensures that our students develop a deep understanding of the world around them while fostering empathy, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose.

As a result, our graduates emerge well-rounded, confident, and equipped with the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges. Embracing the values of integrity, curiosity, and compassion, our students are prepared to make meaningful contributions to society, grounded in their faith and classical education.

OUR CORE VALUES

We believe that education is about more than just academic achievement. We are devoted to cultivating wise and virtuous students who live for the glory of God, loving both Him and their neighbor as they ought.

Our academic endeavors are underpinned by the classical liberal arts tradition, fostering habits of lifelong learning through a structured exploration of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. Our students delve into primary sources across disciplines, mastering the arts of assimilating foundational truths, reasoning with discernment, and expressing themselves with eloquence and clarity.

Our community strives to model Christ’s teachings, emphasizing genuine love and selfless service. With the aspiration of cultivating servant-leaders, we encourage our students to radiate Christ’s teachings within their spheres and beyond.

We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children. We ally with parents to deliver a classical Christian education that cultivates virtue and wisdom in every student. 

Upholding the intrinsic value of each individual, we acknowledge their sacred worth as being crafted in God’s image. We seek to provide an environment of grace and truth, inspiring students to flourish in both wisdom and virtue.
