BLOG: THE GLORIOUS COMMON ARTS
IN CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

"According to Classical Christian education, the most fitting career education for all of our students is an education in learning how to learn. It is our desire that all of our students grow in Godly virtues and become wise and eloquent. We aspire to prepare every student to dwell faithfully in the Kingdom of God, while temporarily inhabiting the earthly kingdom, all the time enjoying a life of leisure and earning a living that is pleasing and beneficial for themselves and their families...."

Please read Dr. Woods's newest blog. We also ask that you fill out the micro survey linked in the blog.

VERITAS TRAIL WORK DAY

Thanks to all who came out to help on Saturday to clear out the trails! It was a great success!

Section 1 of the future cross country and mountain biking (3/4 mile loop) is now finished!

We also removed a tree that had fallen from the trail and used it to create a bridge near the outdoor classroom!

We will post more photos on our Facebook page!
