And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
    -Ephesians 6:4

Christ Classical Academy endeavors to assist parents in the discipline and education of their children by providing a Christ-centered, classically structured program, designed to equip students with the proper tools for learning and the desire to use them for the Glory of God.

What is Classical Education?

Christ Classical Academy uses the classical approach to learning based upon the three levels of development called the Trivium.

The grammar school (Kindergarten to sixth) emphasizes basic learning skills, while the dialectic school (seventh to ninth) concentrates on formal instruction in logic. The rhetoric school (tenth to twelfth) helps students develop a clear understanding of verbal, written, and mechanical aspects of expression used in each subject studied.

The goal is to teach our students how to think as a basis for mastering specific subject areas. Intensive phonics and primary reading sources, including the Bible and classic works, are used for instruction in reading and the language arts. We use an incremental and cumulative approach to mathematics skills. Latin is taught for its direct benefits and as reinforcement for understanding English grammar and vocabulary.  

If you still have questions, we would love to provide you a succinct introduction into Classical & Christian Education which was written by Gregg Strawbridge subtitled, Recapturing the Educational Approach of the Past: The Future of the Past. This booklet is available from the school office (850-656-2373).
