Why Classical Christian Education?
Classical Christian Education (CCE) is a time-tested educational system which establishes a biblical worldview (called Paideia), incorporates methods based on natural phases of child development, cultivates the Christian virtues, trains students in reasoning through the Trivium (Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric), and engages children in “the great conversation” through the historical Great Books.
Briefly, the aim of CCE is to form the affections of children to be more like Christ and to love the Good, True, and Beautiful.

Men, not Machines
In stark contrast to a Classical Christian education, modern progressive government schools resemble a sterilized and efficient production factory, a model first developed to serve the militaristic and industrial goals of 19th century Prussian technocrats. The end goal was to manufacture not life long learners, but rather machines, imprinting upon them the philosophical ideologies of those wielding institutional power, and constructing young people to accomplish the in-vogue social & political causes of the elites. This has produced what C.S .Lewis calls “Men without Chests.”
