WHY CHOOSE CLASSICAL?

Classical education is more than just a curriculum; it's a philosophy of learning that has shaped some of the greatest minds in history, from Aristotle and Leonardo da Vinci to Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King Jr. It's built upon the trivium – grammar, logic, and rhetoric – a framework that cultivates a deep understanding of language, critical thinking, and persuasive communication.

It's complemented by the quadrivium - arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - a grouping that showcases how all knowledge is ultimately connected. By mastering these foundational skills, students develop a lifelong love of learning and the intellectual tools to succeed in any field. 

• Develops Critical Thinking: Classical education emphasizes logic, reasoning, and the ability to analyze information from multiple perspectives, going back to original sources.

• Cultivates Effective Communication: Through the study of rhetoric, students learn to articulate their ideas clearly, persuasively, and eloquently.

• Fosters a Love of Learning: A classical education approach instills a deep appreciation for knowledge and a desire to learn for the sake of learning.

• Provides a Strong Moral Foundation: By engaging with classic texts and enduring philosophical questions, students develop a strong moral compass.
