“My appreciation for classical education began when I was teaching at a non-classical school. I love that classical Christian education values and promotes what is most important, inviting students to participate in something real and eternal. I’m constantly amazed at the opportunities for personal, mental, and spiritual growth this model presents to both students and teachers.”
