Brand Talking Points: Founders Classical Academy |
At Founders Classical Academy, we seek to provide a well-rounded education that is distinctively classical, pursues knowledge, promotes virtue, and prepares students for prosperous lives in a free society. Founders Classical Academies are public schools of choice in a private school setting. Students in grades K-12 need educators who are willing to guide them and help them become virtuous, responsible citizens. We offer a rigorous classical education in the liberal arts and sciences and we value applicants with real-world experience and education.

Campus Talking Points: Add any talking points provided by campus below |
1. Founders classical academies seek to work with parents to raise good children who are responsible citizens. Virtue and self-governance are taught within the curriculum. 2. We teach explicit phonics and orthography as well as Singapore math in elementary grades. 3. We do not issue Chromebooks/tech to students. Students are expected to use pencil, paper, and planners to take notes and keep track of assignments. 4. We focus on depth of knowledge so a student will likely be studying the same things in history, art, and/or literature. For example, when a student learns about Rome, they will be learning Roman history, Roman myths and stories, and Roman art/architecture. The curriculum is knowledge-rich and built around the principle of increasing cultural literacy or a common body of essential knowledge that promotes academic success, citizenship, and the centrality of the Western Tradition. 5. Students read great works of literature and discuss texts seriously. They also learn Latin, logic, art and music. |
