A Classical Education
Creating Critical Thinkers for the 21st Century
Learn through Reading
“I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn’t be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage.”
- Roald Dahl (British novelist, short-story writer, poet,
screenwriter, and wartime fighter pilot)

Approach
A Classical Education leads students through the history of civilization through great stories.
Students create a timeline beginning with the birth of civilization and work through the great empires using historical fiction as a guide. The inclusion of a unit study approach provides that other disciplines can be added in, such as math, science and government, using a range of activities and materials.

Approach
Children love stories. As they read fiction, they are captured by the characters and events and the details are lodged into their brains. They naturally learn grammar, intonation and new vocabulary.
As they retell what they have read, they learn to think through common life situations and find reasonable solutions.
This program combines books with movies to bring the story to life and deeply engage the student.
