CHRISTIAN METHODS

We strive to:
• Assist parents in their God-given duty to bring their children up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
• Teach the absolute truth, goodness, and beauty of God's Word in order to understand every discipline in the light of divine revelation.
• Provide a clear model of Biblical Christianity in the lives of teachers, administrators and board members.
We believe that education is inherently religious and that there is no such thing as neutral education. Therefore, Christian Worldview thinking will pervade our instruction. We will not be using a public school curriculum sprinkled with prayer in the morning and bible classes in the afternoon. We believe that there is absolute truth, absolute beauty and absolute goodness and that children need to be taught to recognize them.

CLASSICAL PRINCIPLES
We strive to:
• Provide students with the tools of learning and instill in them a life-long desire to increase in knowledge and wisdom.
• Implement the Trivium method of instruction, teaching the grammar, logic and rhetoric of all subjects.
• Immerse students in the history, language and art of western culture, in a manner that enables them to understand our present age and equips them to wisely build the future.
The classical method was the western world's accepted method of teaching for nearly 1500 years. Over the last century, it has been on the verge of extinction. A 1947 essay by Dr. Dorothy Sayers, of Oxford University, has touched off the recent movement to recapture this educational philosophy. Classical education is about equipping children for the future with what has been successful in the past.
Classical education has three basic stages known as the "Trivium." These are the grammar phase (K-5), the logic phase (6-8), and the rhetoric phase (9-12). In addition, the hallmark subjects include Latin, Logic and Rhetoric.
