A Classical Christian Culture Growing Mind, Body, and Spirit

By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 24:3-4

What is Classical Christian Education?

Classical education teaches the art of learning – more than what to think, but how to think. While once the traditional educational model, classical education has become counter-cultural. Through its language-focused learning approach, development of well-ordered reasoning skills, and pursuit of Christian virtues and godly wisdom, a classically-trained student not only seeks out that which is good, true, and beautiful, but effectively guides others toward these virtues as well.

A PLACE FOR YOUR CHILD TO GROW

Grammar

The primary focus of the grammar stage is to build a strong foundation for all other learning.  At this age, children are eager to learn and memorize new facts, which we often help them retain with songs, jingles, and rhymes. These facts that span all subjects from Bible to history to science become the building blocks upon which they apply reasoning skills later on.

Logic

During the school of logic years – the early teenage years – children begin to think independently and question the why and how of things. Classical Christian education fosters this natural tendency by introducing reasoning skills, argument structure, and methods by which to evaluate ideas.

Rhetoric

Students in the school of rhetoric are training to assimilate what they have learned and to articulate these ideas eloquently, both in written and verbal form. They are practicing the skills essential for a meaningful lifetime of learning.

Abiding Savior purchases building to meet continued growth needs!

Abiding Savior purchased a building! On July 31st, the church council closed on a building at 308 W. 37th Street. While we will continue to follow God’s leading as to the future plans of the school, we envision this building bridging a gap to house our logic and rhetoric students for the next 3-5 years, as we have outgrown our space needs to all continue together in our current facility. We will spend the next year refreshing the building and making it suitable for our needs and look forward to opening the doors for our logic and rhetoric students beginning Fall 2024!

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19.
