About Our School

We believe education should develop both knowledge and wisdom—not just what to think but how to think. Our classical microschool achieves this through careful study of great works, discussion of enduring questions, and development of clear, reasoned expression. Students graduate prepared for academic excellence and thoughtful engagement with important ideas.


Educational Philosophy: We believe education is a partnership between school and home, with shared responsibility for student success.
