  • FoundersClassical Academy of Lewisville seeks to provide an excellent and
  • distinctively classical education that pursues knowledge, promotes virtue, and
  • prepares students for prosperous lives in a free society.
  • ● Founders emphasizes the importance of understanding American history, civics,
  • and Founding principles
  • ● 12 Commitments toTeaching and Learning

1. Virtues, as well as principles in self-government and civility, are identified and

clearly taught in a seamless manner through course content.

2. Emphasis is placed on minds-on learning and on fostering a spirit of inquiry in

students; standardized tests, while important, do not drive curriculum and

instruction.

3. The curriculum is knowledge-rich and built with the goal of providing students with

a common body of essential knowledge that promotes academic success,

citizenship, and the centrality of the Western Tradition.

4. Literacy is taught through explicit phonics and grammar, and rational thought and

expression are acquired through logic and rhetoric.

5. Greek and Latin constitute the foundational foreign language instruction for

training in grammar, vocabulary, and critical thinking and as a bridge to the study of

seminal texts and to other languages.

6. Classic works of history and literature, i.e. Great Books, constitute the texts

students read, examine, and discuss with depth and seriousness.


7. Mathematical and scientific knowledge are pursued for their own sakes, not

merely for their practical applications; both aim at human excellence.

8. Instruction in the fine and performing arts are essential to the curriculum and

include instruction in theory, history, and performance.

9. Students are trained in study skills, planning, and organization, a close reading of

the text, and note-taking.

10. Importance is placed on bodily fitness and physical education in concert with fit

minds.

11. Co-curricular and extra-curricular academic and athletics activities are offered

and encouraged to promote a well-ordered and well-rounded experience for

students.

12. The education of children is viewed as a collaborative and essential partnership

between parents and professional educators.
