CLASSICAL SCHOOL CORE VALUES
Current Openings: We still have a few openings for the 2010-2011 school year. Please call or email us to learn which classes have openings.
Thank you for your interest in our fully accredited K-12 Classical School on– campus university style program that offers an unique combination of classroom instruction and parent directed education as well as the option for full-time enrollment.
The Christ-Centered Classical School is designed for Christian (non-denominational) families in which parents want to take an active role in the oversight and implementation of their children's education. As the level of parental involvement progresses from being a co-teacher in the elementary years, to a guide for independent study in Junior High, to more of a course monitor in the Senior High courses, parents are expected to continue exercising loving and active responsibility for their children through graduation. In partnership with these committed parents, the school is then able to integrate the home and school effectively toward the common goal of strong character development and solid academic preparation for college.
Students in grades K-12 attend a university approach program with instructional classes two days per week (T-Th). Students are at home on the days they are not in classes (M-W-F) with parents implementing teacher written home assignments. Students hand in their home assignments on their class day and the teachers grade their work and post grades online.
Altamonte Springs location only: Students may select to enroll full-time M-F and have our teachers help implement their home assignments in a learning center approach.
