Faith in Education

The academic standards in any secular or Christian school should be the highest possible, and the students of a Classically-modeled program will master more subject matter-facts and methods of analysis- than most, if not all, students from a non-Classical program.

The aim of a specifically Orthodox approach, though, is to contemplate created things, then go beyond them to the Creator, and ultimately to know God, the Holy Trinity. The aim is to offer all knowledge back to God in thanksgiving for His goodness and love to us unto eternity.

The overriding diet of the Orthodox school is Holy Scripture, participation in the Liturgy and prayer hours of the Church, iconography, and the example of the lives of the Saints themselves.

The things of this life become a revelation of the Kingdom of God as they are re-integrated and ordered rightly in the practice of the Church-both corporately in worship and service, and personally in family and vocation.
