Education is not merely about information or preparation for a career. Its ultimate aim must be the lifelong formation of the whole human soul.

Our learning is explicitly grounded in the biblical and historic Christian faith. The Scriptures are the standard by which we assess truth claims, and the worldview filter through which we see reality. At the center of all we do is the divinity, incarnation, death, resurrection, ascension, and reign of Jesus Christ.

We master any given subject through the trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Or, to put it another way, through learning what something is, what it means, and how to persuasively communicate it. This includes a strong emphasis on the history and culture of Western Civilization.

We implement the Charlotte Mason approach to Classical learning. Charlotte Mason was an educator at the turn of the 20th century who emphasized the importance of cultivating wonder through reading beautiful books, spending lots of time in nature, and engaging ideas in a "living" way. 

Glorify the Creator. Education should lead us to a greater love for God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. "God is the highest good of the reasonable creature; and the enjoyment of Him is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied." (Jonathan Edwards)

Marvel at creation. Education should lead us to see how all God's diverse works are connected, and a greater awe for what He has made. "The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder."  (G.K. Chesterton)

Live properly in creation and in relation to the Creator. Education should lead us to rightly ordered responsibilities and relationships. "Of all human pursuits, the pursuit of wisdom is the most perfect, the most sublime, the most useful, and the most agreeable." (Thomas Aquinas)
