What is Classical Christian Education?

Classical Christian Education (CCE) is a centuries-tested approach that begins with the principal that God created everything, and that He has gifted us with the ability to discover, study, and marvel at so much of it. Loving God with all our minds means showing students that everything is the result of God’s creative energy, and that there is nothing over which he is not Lord.

Building on that principal, the CCE model disciples students into self-directed lifelong learning through three rigorous academic phases that parallel the natural cognitive development of children. The result of a Classical Christian Education is a well-rounded young adult who thinks clearly, reasons persuasively, and is able to engage the culture for the glory of God and the edification of others.
