✅ What Makes the School Unique?

CLA is defined by its commitment to the classical Christian model and its rigorous, comprehensive structure:

• Classical Model (The Trivium): The curriculum follows the three stages of the Trivium: Grammar (K–5, mastering foundational facts and knowledge), Logic/Dialectic (6–8, critical thinking and reasoned argument), and Rhetoric (9–12, eloquent expression and persuasive communication).

• Christ-Centered Worldview: The Christian faith is integrated into all academic disciplines. Daily devotion time and weekly Chapel are mandatory, reinforcing the idea that all truth is unified in Christ.

• Core Liberal Arts: Places a strong emphasis on traditional academic skills, including Latin (begins in the lower school) and Formal Logic (studied in the middle school years), which train students in language structure and sound reasoning.

• Unified K-12 Campus: Serving students from Kindergarten through 12th grade on one campus provides a consistent culture, curriculum progression, and a close-knit, family-like atmosphere.

• Small Class Sizes: Maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio, fostering a close-knit, supportive community where faculty serve as mentors, and students receive personalized guidance.
