Mission & Vision

Knox Classical School empowers parents to raise their children in the instruction of the Lord by providing a comprehensive classical educational framework that trains students to explore Scripture and creation with humility, excellence, and wonder.

Our Vision

Our Students

Our students will be disciples of Christ who are being transformed by the renewing of their minds after the image of their Creator.  They will love truth, goodness, and beauty; hate what is evil; and strive to advance the Kingdom of Heaven through their unique talents.  They will think clearly, listen carefully, reason persuasively, and articulate precisely as they evaluate all of their experiences under the authority of Scripture.  They will seek to grow in wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, yet recognize the limits and foolishness of the wisdom of this world.  They will be socially graceful and spiritually gracious with hearts for the lost and the courage to seek and dissuade those who are stumbling towards death.  And they will possess all of these with humility and gratitude to God.

Our Faculty

Our faculty will be mature in Christ, growing in the knowledge of God, and desire that their own children walk rightly with the Lord.  They will be professional and diligent in their work; gifted in teaching, loving their students and their subjects; and committed to partnering with parents to disciple young hearts and minds.  They will understand and value classical education and skillfully implement it in their classrooms.  They will be well compensated so they may make a long-term commitment to Knox Classical School and given ample professional development opportunities to excel still more.

Our Parents

Our parents will pursue lives of holiness and maturity in Christ, both personally and within their families, and embrace their responsibility to raise their children in the instruction of the Lord.  They will adopt and implement the educational philosophy and practices of Knox Classical School in home instruction and model a love and lifestyle of learning.  They will sense their responsibility for Knox Classical School and be well informed about the goals of classical, Christian, collaborative education.  They will strive to cultivate a Christ-like school community by serving eagerly, maintaining unity, following biblical principles in addressing conflict, and being quick to encourage one another to love and good works.

Our Community

Within our community, our school will be above reproach in our dealings and supportive of local establishments and institutions, always exhibiting integrity and grace.  It will exemplify the unity of the body of Christ, develop greater fellowship and understanding among local churches, and honor our Lord in everything.

Lux Invictus Est | Light Is Invincible

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5

Knox Classical School admits students of any race, sex, color, or national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally afforded or made available to students at the school.  Knox Classical School does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, or national or ethnic origin in administering the school’s educational policies and practices; admission, financial assistance, and scholarship policies; or athletic and other school-administered programs.  Knox Classical School reserves the right to select students on the basis of academic performance. 

As a religious educational organization, Knox Classical School reserves the right to use religion in hiring and admission because of its objective, mission, and vision as a Christian, faith-based institution.  Knox Classical School believes that it partners with parents seeking to fulfill their responsibility under Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6 by providing a Christian education to children.  Knox Classical School thus discriminates on the basis of religion and conduct based on its religious beliefs.  This includes the religious commitment, lifestyle choices, and personal conduct of students and families, as well as their willingness to abide by Knox Classical School’s policies and cooperate with its administrators.  At times, a family’s lifestyle may be in such conflict with or opposition to Knox Classical School’s Statement of Faith that the school may, within its sole discretion, determine that it is not in the best interest of the student or the school to admit the student or continue the student’s enrollment.  For how “[d]o two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?”  (Amos 3:3).
