We absolutely love The Classical Academy. One of the best things is being able to spend more time together as a family. After going to a five day a week, secular school last year the strain had already become apparent with the time constraint. Being able to go to school in a small classroom setting, have an experienced and well educated teacher for each child, and also make wonderful friends twice a week has been a true blessing. On our home days we are able to get our school work done and still have time to rest and relax together. We also love learning about Jesus through Scripture reading and songs while attending the Academy. I know when I drop my boys off in the morning they will be well loved and educated. We love The Classical Academy and what it has brought to our household. We can't wait to continue our education through The Classical Academy.

Finding The Classical Academy last Spring was a true answer to prayer for our family. As we felt called to pull our kids from the public school for many reasons, God laid on my heart that He was leading us on a new adventure. I had arranged to visit several schooling options from homeschooling co-ops to full-time private schools. I had heard of The Classical Academy from a friend whose son attended and decided to add it to my list of places to visit. Before attending the info night, I knew that The Classical Academy was on the top of the list for me. I loved everything I had read about the school on their website and after the info night (and lots of prayer!), we decided this is where God was leading us. After one semester at the school, we have loved the Christian education and influence that they are getting, the balance of school and home days, and the flexibility that has allowed our family to be together more. I never thought I would enjoy being a co-teacher and teaching on the home days, but I have found great joy in watching my kids grow and learn and to be apart of what they are learning. I now realize how crucial it is to take responsibility and ownership over your kid’s education, but most importantly, they are being taught God’s truths and excelling to become a lifelong learner.

The Classical Academy has changed our lives! By the time our oldest was a few months into 1st grade, we knew that we needed to make a major switch in schooling for the next year. Public school was not challenging our son in any way academically, and while he had friends and enjoyed his teachers, he was not thriving academically, socially, emotionally, or spiritually. A friend had mentioned The Classical Academy. We truly thought it was too good to be true! We made the hard decision to drastically change course with the academic plan for our children, and it has truly been the most amazing blessing. While it was terrifying, difficult, and even a bit sad to leave what we knew at his previous school, it was quickly apparent to us that God had something so much better for us with The Classical Academy! The Classical Academy is unmatched academically and I continue to be so impressed and pleased with all that our son is learning! He not only has more challenging and appropriate academics, but also has so much more free time to dive into enrichment activities that satisfy his deep curiosity to learn! The hybrid nature of the school has been absolutely perfect for us, as it provides the structure, professional teaching, and socialization that we desire, while the at-home days allow for more family time, more time to explore additional interests, and the gift of being able to actively participate in the education of our children. The community we have found at The Classical Academy with the phenomenal staff and other families has been such a gift. The Academy has changed the trajectory of our family's life!

The Classical Academy has provided us a unique opportunity to offer our children the best education, both in and out of the classroom. The support and collaboration from the Classical Academy staff has been crucial in our kid's education as we transitioned from public school. The professional teachers are encouraging and have helped us make a smooth transition into the Academy's classical curriculum and university style school week. We are beyond pleased with the challenging curriculum offered, which was extensively researched by the school’s administration. We are pleased to see first-hand how well the grades and subjects are vertically and horizontally aligned throughout the school, with all subjects taught in a developmentally appropriate way. Our children are fully prepared to complete their at home work each week after their in-class instruction time. The teacher-created lesson plans are organized and laid out clearly, providing the framework for successful at-home days, as well as a successful campus day, where they can socialize with other students, and receive main content teaching. The university-schedule provides structure, accountability, academic rigor, and increased time at home. The increased time at home allows us more opportunities to impart our faith and values on our children, and be involved in outside activities without the taxing demands of the traditional school schedule and homework. They look forward to attending campus days and cherish the time they have with the teachers and other students. I highly recommend The Classical Academy to any family who is looking for high-quality education for their children.

Our family has been thrilled with The Classical Academy! The Classical Academy has provided the additional structure and foundation that we needed in our daughter's education, especially as we added a baby to our already busy schedule! Our daughter loves the campus days with peers and teachers, and we love that she is receiving solid teaching and guidance. The curriculum is age-appropriate, yet challenging, and requires her to put in more effort to do the work with excellence. We love being an integral part of our daughter's education and growth, so having the ability for her to attend campus days, and also complete work together at home has been the perfect balance for us. We are so thankful this has been an option for us!

Cheryl, Academy Teacher
Teaching at The Classical Academy is wonderful! As a teacher, I love the fact that what I’m teaching matters. Our curriculum is both challenging and interesting. The stages in which the curriculum is taught allow the students to learn in developmentally appropriate ways, and, most importantly, we are able to weave God and Christian principles naturally throughout each subject. I also really enjoy working with parents as co-teachers. As parents, we truly want the best education for our children that we can possibly provide, so it’s exciting to come together and work as a team in providing that education for the students. The faculty at the Academy is amazing as well and are all committed to giving the best of ourselves to the benefit of our students. Finally, my students are absolutely delightful! They bring a smile to my face every morning and all throughout the day. Because the Academy provides the opportunity for a unique and different educational experience, our students’ love of learning is enhanced and furthered. Teaching at The Classical Academy has been a rewarding and exciting experience.

We prayed for many years for the opportunity to attend a university-schedule school and the Lord has answered those prayers. My son attended a public kindergarten, had a great teacher and loved school. However, his dad and I felt called to provide a Christian education for our child. We considered a traditional private Christian school, but our son would still be away from our influence for seven hours a day, five days a week, and it was also very expensive. We tried homeschooling in first grade and loved the experience, but we felt apprehensive about coordinating his academic plan long term, and our son loved being with friends. When I found out about the university-schedule school model I could not believe it! It is the perfect school for us because it is the best of both worlds - my son now has the opportunity to attend a Christian school that utilizes a classical curriculum, with experienced teachers, and be educated at home, too! The teachers, headmaster, and other parents are so supportive. I no longer feel alone in my quest for a classical Christian education for my child. I still can’t believe what God has done so far with this school, and I am looking forward to all of the good things to come. A university-schedule, collaborative school turned out to be everything we hoped it would be and more! |

The decision to partner with a university-schedule, collaborative school this year was not an easy one for our family. Our kids had great friends in public school and were hesitant to change. We worried about the expense and the idea of overseeing schoolwork on the home days. But then we researched the model, talked with other parents and schools and became sold on the university-schedule vision. We reworked our budget, prioritized the expense, and came to the conclusion that this kind of education was exactly what our family needed. It provides us the ability to have stress free evenings, with no homework, and allows us to be more involved in church life and sports. My kids get the excitement and belonging of a school community and we get to spend more time together during their growing up years. I'm so happy we chose to partner with a university-schedule school.
