Knox Classical School Inc

Knox Classical School Inc is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a classical, Christian, collaborative educational framework. The school aims to empower parents to raise their children in the instruction of the Lord, fostering a comprehensive learning environment that integrates faith with academic rigor.

Educational Philosophy

The school's educational philosophy is rooted in the classical approach, focusing on a liberal arts and sciences curriculum that includes history, geography, literature, science, math, English grammar, spelling, writing, Latin, and the arts. The curriculum emphasizes Christ as the centerpiece of all learning, ensuring that students see the preeminence of Christ in every subject area. The method combines traditional classroom instruction with homeschooling elements, where students attend school two days a week and learn at home with their families on the other days[2][3].

Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is designed to cultivate virtue and a love of learning, incorporating extensive memory work, systematic training in virtue, and integration across subjects to streamline home study. Specific curriculum components include catechism questions, hymns, Scripture passages, and poetry. The school uses a variety of educational resources such as Tapestry of Grace, Veritas Press, and Classical Academic Press[4].

Mission and Vision

Knox Classical School's mission is to equip students with a classical Christian education that enables them to know and love the truth. The vision is for students to become disciples of Christ, critically evaluating experiences under the authority of Scripture and striving for wisdom, understanding, and love of truth and goodness[3].

Admissions Process

The school accepts applications for students from kindergarten through fourth grade. The admissions process includes attending an informational meeting, completing family and student applications, paying an application fee, and participating in a family interview. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority given to returning families during specified periods[5].
