Our students build personal relationships with God's creation, great men and women of history, and transformative ideas expressed in each of their subjects.
Each student does the scholar’s work of the reading and study of living books. These primary sources of truth, beauty, and wisdom give the student the opportunity to experience for herself the thrill of encountering transformative ideas.
