"Like the Benedictine monastery, the classical Christian school orders everything around the Logos, Jesus Christ, and the quest to know him with one's heart, soul, and mind. Classical education accepts the Great Tradition's fundamental understanding that all of reality is grounded in transcendental ideals - in fact, in the One in Whom we move and live and have our being.  

All Christian schools should take as part of their mission the cultivation of personal devotion to Christ within the hearts of their students. Classical Christian education takes a more comprehensive and universal approach. In this model, a searching love of Christ under-girds and harmonizes all classroom learning. The end is to nurture graduates whose hearts desire truth, goodness, and beauty and who use their minds to discover these things."
