Redeemer Classical Christian School exists to glorify Christ by cultivating young men and women of wisdom, virtue, and faith. We believe that this is the true purpose of an education, and it is the education that every student deserves. We invite you to learn more about our extraordinary program. Meet our faculty!
The next generation doesn’t need us to give them more information, instead, they need us to do what all families have done for generations- impart wisdom, teach virtue, and share our Faith. This commitment to education as a transformation of the whole person is what makes our program special.
Wisdom – Students need to know themselves, the world, and the God who made it, and this is the beginning of true wisdom. A modern approach can impart facts and methods, but being wise requires wrestling with the important questions in life- who am I? What is God like? How does the world work? Education used to address these questions and at Redeemer, we still do.
Virtue – Many people ask “What can I do with my education?” We prefer to ask: “What is my education doing to me?” Grades, scores, and achievements mean nothing if a person does not live a life that matters, and that requires virtue. Redeemer students don’t just excel academically, they learn to use that knowledge to live with courage, justice, prudence, and self-control.
Faith – We are Christians. All our learning is rooted in the truth that God exists, that we are made in His image, and that He is reconciling the world to Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ. Knowing Jesus, and submitting to his teaching is our highest aim.
Anyone who has been properly educated will sense when something… hasn’t been finely crafted…..he’ll praise fine things, be pleased by them, receive them into his soul, and, being nurtured by them, become fine and good. -Socrates
Classical in our goals – Since the time of the Ancients, wise people have recognized that the goal of education is much more than good grades, money, or even a set of skills. Education is primarily about human formation- a young woman or young man become a person who knows how to live well in the world. (portrait of a graduate)
Classical in our methods – There is no curriculum that can substitute for a teacher who loves her students and loves the content she teaches. Rather than deploying tablets, videos, and worksheets, we rely on traditional, time tested methods. At Redeemer, we sing, recite, listen, read, write, and discuss.
Classical in our content – Our students study what is true, good, and beautiful. Whether it’s geometry, art, poetry, or biology, our aim is always to present students with the best. As people have done for centuries, Redeemer uses the great books, great works, and great ideas of the world as the text for our learning.
Present – Redeemer is blessed to sit on 35 acres in rural Baltimore County. The peaceful atmosphere is the perfect setting for recreation and reflection.
Future – Redeemer is planning for the future. Our school is planning new facilities, and this is the perfect time for your family to join our growing community.
