• The Teacher’s Role - In typical schools, the teacher’s role is to lecture the students, present facts, assign work, and administer tests. In the classical Catholic model, the teacher’s role is to guide the students through class discussions.

• How We Learn - Most schools focus on memorizing facts in order to pass tests. Afterward, many students forget a lot of the facts they memorized just for the test. In the classical model, the focus is on learning how to think and how to solve problems, as well as how to clearly express those thoughts. 

• What We Learn - The classical model connects each subject to God and to each other, showing us how to look deeper into the subjects to discover how they relate to each other. 

• Catholic Studies – A key part of the curriculum in a classical Catholic model is to allow students to discover God throughout the school day, across all subjects. The search for goodness and truth are incorporated into all subjects.

• Objective of Education - The goal of classical education is to ignite curiosity and creativity, and to inspire students to never stop learning and growing.  

The classical Catholic model helps students learn to think, ask questions, and solve problems; providing the time and guidance to step back and gain a deeper understanding of our world and an appreciation for truth, goodness, and beauty.
