Classical education is another term for Liberal Arts, which are foundational to the way God designed us to learn. Classical education is built around the seven liberal arts: the first three are the Trivium (language arts of grammar, logic, and rhetoric), and the second four are the Quadrivium (mathematical arts of arithmetic, geometry, science, and music). An individual who has mastery of words and mastery of numbers can really go on to learn anything. This is how classical education truly lays a foundation for lifelong learning. 

The Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education (Kevin Clark and Ravi Jain) is a helpful resource. A review of that book may be found here.

Accreditation takes time for new schools to achieve. We do, however, provide transcripts which meet all the criteria for college entrance. We are currently working with Concordis Education Partners to meet all standards and best practices.
