Educational Approach
Rooted in a blended Classical and Charlotte Mason approach, our program emphasizes rich language, thoughtful learning, and the formation of wisdom and virtue. Everything we do is intentionally Catholic in its worldview, with faith naturally woven into every subject and daily activity. Lessons are thoughtfully individualized to meet each student’s academic needs, honoring their strengths while encouraging diligence, responsibility, and perseverance. Through the pursuit of beauty, truth, and goodness, we seek to form not only capable students, but faithful, thoughtful, and virtuous young people — all for the Glory of God.
Primary (Kindergarten - 2nd Grade)
The Primary years invite children into a world of wonder, curiosity, and joyful learning. Rooted in Catholic tradition, our program blends strong academics with hands-on science, delightful art, meaningful religious exploration, and the beauty of handwriting and music, creating a nurturing foundation for lifelong learning.
Grammar (3rd Grade - 6th Grade)
During the Grammar stage, students begin to ask deeper questions and make meaningful connections across subjects. Through strong academics, guided discussion, and hands-on exploration, we nurture curiosity, confidence, and a growing sense of responsibility. Faith and learning are woven together as students grow in knowledge, character, and love of truth.
