Classical Christian: An Extraordinary Education Building Extraordinary Students

What is Christian Classical Education?

For nearly a quarter of a century, Faith Christian has offered a distinctly Christian and distinctly Classical education that prepares our students for what lies ahead. Faith provides robust academics in a nurturing Christian environment.

​

Christian Classical education is…

​

Christian, because:

• We desire that your child will grow in a personal relationship with Christ.

• We hold to foundational principles of Christian belief (read our Statement of Faith here).

• We teach that God is the author of all life; therefore, everything we study gives insight into the nature and character of God.

• We prepare your child to be in the world yet not of it.

• We work to provide a safe, caring environment where your child will flourish.

• We seek, at an age-appropriate level, to equip your child to engage the world and culture in godly, redemptive ways and to discern what is true, good, and beautiful.

​​

Classical, because:

• We follow a proven model of education that for over 2,000 years has produced some of the finest theologians, statesmen, composers, inventors, artists, adventurers, and influencers the world has ever known.

• Our approach does not change with the latest educational fad or experiment.

• Our goal is that students will understand rather than simply memorize.

• We teach students how to engage new material on their own, to reason well, and to communicate persuasively.

• We require students to work hard, to think clearly, and to engage actively in learning. These skills prepare our graduates to take on the challenges life brings.

• We cultivate in our students both humility and confidence.
