Our friends at the Society for Classical Learning define classical Christian education this way, “Classical Christian education aims to cultivate virtue and wisdom in students so that they will live for the glory of God, flourishing as human beings and loving both God and neighbour. It pursues these goals through an ordered exploration of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful that is grounded in the liberal arts tradition and that forms students’ affections and the habits of lifelong learning.”

At St. Anselm’s, we think that alongside the subjects taught across most schools (music, fine art, physical education, language arts, mathematics, science, and history) equally as important are the subjects unique to a classical Christian education: Latin, Classical Writing, Logic, Oration & Recitation, Rhetoric and Biblical Studies.

Biblical principles are the foundation for our classroom environment, which is teacher led and student oriented. Behavioral expectations and classroom protocol promote both character development and Christian maturity.
