Classical Christian Education develops thinking, articulate,well-rounded graduates

Classical Christian Education is designed to develop lifetime learners. Students are taught that every subject should be approached with defining facts, organized information, and an effective method for presentation. Graduates are familiar with reading, writing, Latin, logic, math, science, and the fine arts resulting in knowledgeable and thoughtful men and women.

Classical Christian schools teach all subjects based on the principle that God is the Creator of all that exists, and therefore all knowledge is interrelated and points back to Him. Biblical standards of conduct are applied in all arenas of school life, acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord of all.

Smaller class sizes ensure that teachers know their students and are better able to serve them individually. Students know they are loved and not just another face in the crowd while openly manifesting deep appreciation and respect for their parents and teachers.

The overarching study of Humanities involves the study of those things that make us uniquely human...recognizing those things that are the greatest things humans think about - Truth, Beauty and Goodness.

At Redeemer Classical Christian School, we provide a comprehensive education from kindergarten through high school, following the time-tested Classical Education method. Our students embark on a transformative journey, guided by the three stages of the Trivium: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric.

In the Grammar stage, students delve into increasingly complex texts across all subjects, laying a strong foundation of knowledge. They acquire a solid understanding of fundamental concepts and develop critical thinking skills. Moving into the Logic and Rhetoric stages, students engage in dedicated courses that sharpen their ability to think logically and communicate persuasively. They learn to analyze information, identify fallacies, and construct compelling arguments. As a culmination of their journey, our seniors undertake a thesis project, applying their acquired skills to craft thoughtful and persuasive arguments on significant topics. This project showcases their intellectual growth and mastery of the Classical method.

By embracing this classical education model, we equip our students with the tools and mindset needed for lifelong learning, critical thinking, and effective communication.

In Math and Science classes, we cultivate a sense of wonder and curiosity, guiding students to appreciate the intricate beauty of the world and recognize it as a testament to God's design. Our advanced courses provide training beyond mere memorization, empowering students to see these subjects as interconnected components of the universe. By encouraging holistic understanding before analytical dissection, we equip students with the skills to explore and unravel the mysteries of the natural world.

Engaging with the Word of God is a cornerstone of our students' education. The study of Scripture is prioritized as an integral part of our curriculum. Students are encouraged to follow the path of Faith through a growing knowledge of Scripture and revelation of God’s promises.

The Bible curriculum correlates to historical and literary studies, offering a well-rounded approach to understanding the Scriptures. By combining academic rigor with personal reflection and application, we empower our students to grow spiritually and develop a deep understanding of God's Word.

Latin unlocks the beauty of language. By studying Latin, students gain a deeper comprehension of English grammar. Students progress to reading and discussing selections from a wide range of Latin literature, embracing the richness of our classical heritage.

Our holistic approach to classical education encompasses the nurturing of both body and soul. Through physical, musical and visual arts we equip our students with the tools to lead balanced lives, appreciate the beauty around them, and foster a lifelong love for active living and artistic expression.

Grammar (1st-6th)

The Grammar School focuses on developing a love of learning in each subject area. A phonics-based program provides essential tools for children to become independent readers and expose students to a wide variety of quality literature. Beautiful stories, songs, vocabulary, elements of wonder, and passages of scripture equip each child with a love of learning and awareness of the wonder of God’s creation.

Logic students learn to answer the questions of “how” and “why.” They engage in a broad range of subjects, including computer applications, life sciences, physical sciences, biology, Bible studies, and humanities. English courses further develop grammar, writing mechanics, composition, and creative writing skills, with an emphasis on analyzing the worldview of authors and characters.

Through comprehensive and thoughtfully designed curriculum, students in the Logic stage at RCCS are equipped with the tools to think reason effectively and pursue knowledge in a wide range of subjects.
