Our Story

Classical culture stimulates the unique potential all human beings innately possess to learn and discover ideas. We are social beings, capable of doing good. We wonder, and are motivated by beauty.
These characteristics, common to all human beings, are drawn out by learning to know, practice and love virtue. Using original source documents, encouraging questions, and teaching eloquent speech to express one's opinions, a scientific, classical culture develops a well-rounded individual who is adept at solving and understanding complex concepts.
As with all classical education there is a heavy emphasis on the unity between literature, history, the sciences & music, because wonder about all aspects of human nature and the natural world is essential. Students immersed in such an environment learn to be morally aware of the past, present and future world. The larger global view engenders patriotism and love of humanity.
