Who will they become?
We believe the purpose of education is formation, not merely information. It is about training students to become something, namely, lovers of God who are awakened and attuned to His beauty, goodness, and truth. Here at Paideia, we seek to work in harmony with the family, helping to prepare young people to think with depth, believe with courage, and serve with compassion – scholars, disciples, and citizens.

A Place to Flourish
“What if education wasn't first and foremost about what we know, but about what we love?”
— James K.A. Smith
Classical Christian education follows a much older, more reliable path of formation that greatly values wisdom, virtue, and rightly ordered affections. Teaching students to think and reason, Paideia uniquely combines classical education principles with a Christian worldview.

Students who love the True, the Good, and the Beautiful: The Classical Difference
Classical education has its roots in the teaching methods of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and served as the primary educational model of the western world until the twentieth century. This model is infused with the seven arts of learning, otherwise known as the liberal arts.
“Education is not a subject, and it does not deal in subjects. It is instead the transfer of a way of life.”
