Watch the following video to learn what an American Classical Education is!
Valor Classical Academy will be a tuition-free K-12 public classical charter school. In order to bring this classical academy school to Meridian, this page was created to inform the public and the Meridian community about the classical model and demonstrate What is Classical Education? Classical education is a liberal arts education rooted in ancient history. “Liberal”, in this case, means “free”. Classical education prepares young people to live in freedom and independence, engaging them in the highest matters and the deepest questions of truth, justice, virtue, and beauty.
Mission: To train the minds and improve the hearts of students through a classical, content-rich curriculum that emphasizes virtuous living, traditional learning, and civic responsibility.
Vision: To form future citizens who uphold the ideals of our country’s founding and promote the continuation of our American experiment—through a classical, great books curriculum designed to engage the student in the highest matters and the deepest questions of truth, justice, virtue, and beauty.
WHAT MAKES UP A CLASSICAL EDUCATION?
- A content-rich, traditional curriculum, including the use of classical books and art - Concentrated study of the core academic disciplines: history, literature, mathematics, and science - An appreciation for--and study of--the visual and performing arts - A strong emphasis on language, literacy, writing, and mastery of the English language - Reading of the great books in literature and primary source documents in history - Socratic teaching by kind-hearted teachers who are subject matter experts
