Q: I’ve heard that classical education can be very rigid and is only for the brightest students. Is that true?

A: Some interpretations of classical education can be rather rigid, and do not make room for the child who is different, less mature, or struggling in various ways. However, this is where our Orthodox phronema (or worldview) matters! We believe that goodness, truth, and beauty are for everyone, so we believe a classical education is for everyone: fast learners, slow learners, struggling learners—as well as the extremely bright learners. We will continue to be a school that will welcome and honor students’ unique strengths and needs, while helping them grow to their full potential. We will be an Orthodox classical school: classical with a heart.
