We welcome students and families of every faith and background. This diversity develops mutual respect, fosters unique friendships and community, and enriches our exploration of the world. The classical in our name traces its meaning to the ancient Greek development of two interconnected sets of principles that we strive to cultivate: a Socratic approach to inquiry and a focus on academic and moral virtues.
Classical education places great emphasis on educating the whole person, intellectually, physically, and morally. We use timeless tools of Latin, mathematics, enduring and contemporary literature, and music to develop habits of mind that enhance learning in the sciences, history, drama, poetry, art, and physical education. Class sizes are small by design, fostering a spirit of cooperation and allowing teachers to give students the personal attention they deserve. Common tables, rather than desks, help facilitate respectful dialogue about students’ questions and ideas using the Socratic methods.
Louisville Classical Academy considers all applicants without regard to race, color, sex, gender identification or gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, native language, religion, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, pregnancy, or any other characteristic protected by law.
