Welcome to Christ Classical Academy. Founded in 2004, Christ Classical Academy partners with parents to develop followers of Christ who discern and practice what is true, good, and beautiful.
Learn why we care about who our students are becoming as much as what they are learning.
As a community of faith and learning, we are in covenant partnership with parents and with God in a shared vision and mission.
As we aim to cultivate a child’s character, we start with the end in mind, what we call the “Portrait of a Graduate.”
Classical Christian education follows a reliable path of formation that highly values wisdom, virtue, and rightly ordered affections. Teaching students to think and reason, Christ Classical Academy uniquely combines classical education principles with a Christian worldview.
Modern classical educators find their models among Medieval educators who sought knowledge and wisdom in ancient Greek and Roman sources. Though not going by that name, classical Christian education was the primary form of education in the western world until the twentieth century. This model centers around the seven arts of learning, otherwise known as the liberal arts.
“What if education wasn’t first and foremost about what we know, but about what we love?”
– James K.A. Smith
A comparative study conducted by the University of Notre Dame Sociology Department of 24-to 42-year-old alumni from public, secular private, Catholic, evangelical Christian, religious homeschool, and ACCS (Classical Christian) schools, on topics of life choices, preparation, attitudes, values, opinions, and practices.
The study confirms what history has repeatedly demonstrated —Classical Christian education can influence the course of a home, community, or a nation. ACCS alumni, as adults, think and live in a markedly different way than their peers from other educational models.
Christ Classical Academy is pursuing a path toward adulthood that is remarkably different from the prevailing ways of forming the next generation. Our commitment to Christian formation and classical learning challenges the status quo to return to the things that are true, good, and beautiful.
We recommend parents read “Classical Christian Education: The Essential Guide for Parents” before the Interview.
