In Matthew 22:37, Christ says ““You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This serves as the foundation for all education, that Scripture commands us to love God with our minds. This command is to be taught to future generations. Deuteronomy 6:7 says“And these words that I command
In Matthew 22:37, Christ says ““You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This serves as the foundation for all education, that Scripture commands us to love God with our minds. This command is to be taught to future generations. Deuteronomy 6:7 says“And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children.” We pursue education ourselves and educate our children primarily out of obedience to God.

Our philosophy of education depends on the fact that others have come before us and we stand on the shoulders of giants. In the West, the project of education has taken place over the course of thousands of years. We should stand within this great tradition and recognize the wisdom that has been handed down to us. This prevents us from becoming chronological snobs and being blinded by the zeitgeist of our age.
We hold the Liberal arts understanding of the quadrivium as the art of numbers and the trivium as the art of words. We thereby move from the concrete ideas of numbers and words to the more philosophical ideas in each “subject” that we study. The goal of this is to master understanding in each field of study. The Liberal Arts, a time tested view of the quadrivium and trivium, provides the pedagogical approach that supports discernment training for Christian students. .

Education Worthy of Humanity
Humanity was made in the image of God and reflects Him and His character. It is fitting that humans fulfill this, not only in a moral sense, but in a way that reflects God’s rationality, order, creativity, and goodness. The ability to become educated is unique to humans, and is therefore fitting for an image bearer. Education is not merely a means to an end, but is good in and of itself.
Our Faculty

Our teachers are focused on the child more than just the content. Our purpose in education supersedes knowledge alone, we want the telos of education to be the inculcation of wisdom and virtue. We are educating the “whole child” in partnership with parents.
