Brand Talking Points: Founders Classical Academy

We purpose to provide a classical program that reflects the motto of Charlotte Mason:  “Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline, a Life”

Our program includes a strong liberal arts curriculum, with an emphasis on American civics, art, music, math, science and Latin in pursuit of the true, the good and the beautiful. We believe a classical program is an effective way to promote wisdom and virtue while preparing students to live as responsible citizens and lifelong learners in a free society.

 Classical Academy Distinctives

-Classical virtues, as well as principles in self-government and civility are identified and clearly taught in a seamless manner through course content.

-The curriculum is knowledge-rich and built around the belief that there is a common body of knowledge all members of our society should master in the core areas and in the Fine Arts.

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

-Standardized tests do not drive the curriculum. 

-Literacy is taught through explicit phonics and traditional grammar and composition. Logic and rhetoric are emphasized in the upper school grades.

- Greek and Latin root words are taught in the upper elementary grades. Latin studies are an integral part of the upper school curriculum.

-Mathematical and scientific knowledge are pursued for their own sake, not merely for their practical applications. 

-Literature and History instructions are rooted in primary sources and in great books.

-Instruction in the Fine Arts includes theory, history, and performance.

-Students are trained in study skills, planning, and organization, close reading of text, and note taking.

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

-Co-curricular and extra-curricular academic and athletic activities are offered and encouraged to promote a well-ordered and well-rounded experience for students.

Campus Talking Points: 

Our students have a variety of choices when they move to Middle School, with the closest locations being Founders Carrolton, Founders Lewisville, and iSchool.

Our curriculum uses connections in classic literature, math, history, and science to continually saturate students; education with knowledge that also strengthens their desire to have virtuous character as a lifelong habit.

Character traits such as respect, integrity, self-control, and compassion are reinforced and expected in all facets of the school day.

We follow TEA (Texas Education Agency) laws and teaching standards (TEKS), but also provide a more rigorous option than most traditional progressive education programs.

Our students have access to technology as an occasional reinforcement, enrichment, and testing tool, but we do not issue computers to students for daily use.

School culture

Character education

Classical education focusing on what is good, true, and beautiful (not a one-to-one technology school)
