Philosophy of Education

​Knox Classical School will open for grades K-3 in fall 2024.  Through our classical, Christian, collaborative approach, we'll seek to cultivate virtue and a love of learning in our students and empower parents to disciple their children effectively.

Classical.

Our curriculum is "classical" both in methodology and content.  We use proven, time-tested teaching methods aligning with children's natural developmental stages to train children to love what is good, true, and beautiful; cultivate virtue and humility; and understand the riches of the “Great Conversation” that has shaped Western Civilization.  Our comprehensive curriculum thoroughly covers the subjects comprising a "liberal arts and sciences" education—history, geography, literature, science, math, English grammar, spelling, writing, Latin, and the arts.

Christian.

As Jesus Christ is “before all things,” “holds all things . . . together,” and has “reconciled to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven,” (Col. 1:17, 20) we believe that “knowledge of the Holy One” (Prov. 9:10) and His redemptive work through the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ is necessary to understand all of reality.  For that reason, theology governs and orients our learning in every subject as we strive to disciple students who see Christ’s preeminence in all things.

Collaborative.

Students enjoy the best aspects of traditional and homeschooling:  Two weekdays of on-campus learning led by professional teachers, and three weekdays of learning at home with their parents and siblings using assignments prepared by the on-campus teachers.  This approach encourages families to embrace a lifestyle of learning—and elevates parents as the God-ordained primary influences in their children’s lives—while providing the benefits, support, and structure of formal classroom instruction.

Why Choose Classical Christian Education?

"Indeed, you have not gathered in this place as many of the Greeks used to do, heading to their [schools] to engage in vain endeavors, but rather, you have gathered imbued with the knowledge of the true religion and liberal arts, to be able to magnify the glory of God and to be a support to your families and an honor to your homeland."

​— Theodore Beza, First Rector of the Academy of Geneva, 1559​            

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).
