Classical Christian education is an older, deeper way of schooling that aims to form the whole person—mind, heart, and character—under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Rather than chasing educational trends, classical Christian schools:

• Recover the liberal arts: the historic pattern of learning known as the Trivium—grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

• Feed students on great books: Scripture and the classic works of history, literature, theology, philosophy, and science.

• Integrate all subjects under Christ: every class, from math to music, is taught in light of a Christian worldview.

• Pursue virtue as well as knowledge: we are not satisfied with smart students; we aim for wise, humble, and courageous Christians.

• Read challenging texts with understanding and discernment

• Think clearly and critically about ideas

• Communicate truth winsomely in speech and writing

• See the unity of God’s world—how history, science, art, and theology fit together

Classical Christian education is not simply “harder school.” It is a different kind of school: one that prepares students for any calling by grounding them in what is true, good, and beautiful, and by rooting them deeply in Christ.

For many families in Monroe and the Sky Valley, the transition after 8th grade is painful:

• Local Christian K–8 schools provide a strong foundation, but there is no nearby Christian high school.

• The local public high school has, over time, embraced a culture and set of assumptions that are increasingly at odds with Christian faith and virtue.

• Homeschooling through high school, while a blessing for some, can be isolating and overwhelming for many families.

Our new school exists to meet this need.

We are committed to:

• Providing a rigorous, Christ-centered high school education right here in Monroe

• Offering a natural next step for graduates of local Christian K–8 schools

• Welcoming public school and homeschool students who desire a serious Christian learning community

We are not a retreat from the world, but a place where students can be equipped to engage the world wisely and faithfully—grounded in Scripture, anchored in the great tradition of Christian thought, and surrounded by peers and teachers who share their pursuit of Christ.

Admission to our school is based on an application and interview so that:

• Families understand our classical Christian mission and commitments

• Students know they are entering a school that requires effort, discipline, and maturity

• Working diligently in challenging courses

• Participating respectfully in a Christian community

• Growing in character as well as in knowledge
