What is Classical Christian Education?
Classical Christian education is a time-tested approach that teaches students how to think, not just what to think. Rooted in the Christian worldview, it uses the Trivium of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric to align with the natural stages of a child’s development.
Grammar Stage (K-6 @ FCS): Building a strong foundation through memorization and core facts.
Logic Stage (Lower Division @ FCS): Learning to reason, question, and make connections.
Rhetoric Stage (Upper Division @ FCS): Developing the ability to communicate truth clearly and persuasively.
At its heart, Classical Christian education seeks to cultivate a love for the transcendentals: Beauty, Goodness, and Truth, guiding students to recognize God’s hand in every subject and to pursue wisdom and virtue. By engaging with Scripture, history, and the great works of Western civilization, students become lifelong learners who think deeply, speak eloquently, and live faithfully.
