Is
classical education really possible in this day and age? Absolutely!
Classical and Christian education is a tried and true method of
teaching children according to their abilities and strengths. Children
love to be challenged and stretched, and our well-trained teachers
balance this with love and kindness.
How do I apply? To apply, simply fill out the application and
send it to the school with your application fee of $85.00 per
child.
Upon receipt, we
will call you to set up a family interview (with the parents and the student; siblings are welcome to attend as well). After the interview our Admissions
Director will assess your child’s readiness to enter our school program.
Usually the interview and testing are done at the same time and can take
up to 2 hours, depending on the grade and the individuals being tested.
