STATEMENT
of FAITH
Our Statement of Faith is the foundation of our Community.
“Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.”
— ABIGAIL ADAMS
“It is therefore highly important that you should endeavor not only to be learned, but virtuous.”
— GEORGE WASHINGTON

Christian education seeks to satisfy the direction given in Ephesians 6:4 to “bring [our children] up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” We do this by unapologetically acknowledging his supremacy over and presence in all areas of study, from Chemistry to Literature, from Theology to Technology. We recognize that Christ-following citizens are needed in every sector of our society and we trust in the Lord that as we train up our children in the way they should go, that when they are old, they will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

Classical education seeks to endow generation after generation with the education necessary to both preserve and cherish Western Civilization. Without a liberal education- an education fit for free men- there can be no such expectation. A robust Classical education sharpens the mind with language acquisition (ideally, both Latin and Greek) in the grammar years, focuses intensely on logical reasoning in the intermediate years and culminates in rigorous training in rhetoric, the art of communicating ideas. Classical education is the means by which we can contribute to society a crop of true thinkers, suited for any such field that the Lord calls them into.
-
Traditional education seeks to provide a calm, yet winsome space for learners of all ages to flourish. Proven traditions and structured simplicity allow the intellect to thrive and mature. We emphasize traditional pedagogy alongside a thoughtful engagement with the inheritance of our forefathers. Through the study of our nation’s founding documents and the lives of its founders, as well as Church history and its notable figures, we ground our organizations in such traditional wisdom.
