Our Classical Approach
A School Rooted in Tradition, Truth, and Excellence
A Classical Education
A classical education invites students to engage deeply with the core subjects that have shaped civilizations, from literature and history to logic, mathematics, and the natural sciences. Unlike modern curricula, a classical approach equips students with the critical thinking and communication skills necessary to navigate a complex world by taking a low-tech approach in the classroom.
Rooted in the Lutheran heritage of grace, truth, and service, Christ Classical Academy will offer an educational experience that not only prepares students for academic success but nurtures their character, faith, and sense of purpose.
A School Rooted in Tradition, Truth, and Excellence
We are striving to build a school that doesn’t water down education or faith. A school that honors the wisdom of the past while preparing children for the future. This school won’t chase modern trends but will instead form strong, capable young men and women grounded in truth. This school is built for families like yours.
We will be seeking accreditation from the Consortium of Classical Lutheran Education (CCLE). CCLE provides the “Marks of Lutheran Education” which outlines the essential characteristics of a classical Lutheran education. We have summarized them below, but encourage parents to review the full document here.
Key Characteristics of a Classical Lutheran Education
Faith That Stands the Test of Time
No feel-good fluff, no watered-down theology. We teach historic, biblical Christianity—the faith of the early church, confessed and practiced for centuries.
Christ-Centered Mission
The school's mission is deeply rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, influencing all aspects of its educational endeavors.
A Rich and Meaningful Worship Life
Students participate in reverent, historic Christian worship, learning hymns and liturgy that connect them to generations of believers.
Education That Forms the Whole Person
We use the classical model of learning, which has trained the greatest minds in history to think critically, speak clearly, and pursue truth.
A Christian Worldview in Every Subject
Math, science, literature, and history aren’t just neutral topics—they reveal God’s design, order, and purpose in creation.
Latin as the Language of History and Precision
Mastering Latin strengthens thinking, unlocks Western civilization, and deepens students’ connection to the great Christian tradition.
The Great Books and the Great Ideas
Our students don’t just read modern textbooks; they engage with the foundational works of Western thought, learning from the wisdom of the past.
Strong, Disciplined Teachers
Our educators are serious about their faith, committed to their craft, and dedicated to forming strong, virtuous students.
Order, Structure, and Family Values
We believe in biblical order—clear roles, responsibility, and respect for authority—preparing students to be faithful leaders in their homes, churches, and communities.
A Set Apart Education
Low-Tech Classrooms
We recognize that children need to build foundational skills (i.e. motor, reading, self-regulation) before being ready to appropriately, effectively, and most importantly safely engage with technology. Our classrooms will not use 1-1 devices or iPads for classroom instruction or activities. When developmentally appropriate and enriching to the education experience, students will be taught how to navigate and appropriately use technology as a beneficial tool.
Committed to Recess
Work hard and play harder. We know that educational results and standards are not compromised by ample play time. For our elementary-aged kids, we are committed to 3 recesses a day: one in the morning, one after lunch, and one in the afternoon. When kids get the opportunity to move their bodies and play, we know they retain what they are learning better and can exhibit more self-control in the classroom.
If you’ve been searching for something deeper—something with roots—this is the kind of school your family has been looking for.
