WHAT IS AN AMERICAN CLASSICAL EDUCATION?
Syringa Classical Academy is offering a classical education for modern times. The word ’classical’ refers to 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.

-
Rich in content, providing a true liberal arts and science education
-
Concerned with moral formation, cultivating a foundation built on habituating good character
-
Thoughtfully patriotic, encouraging civic virtue and growing future citizens

-
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
-
A strong emphasis on language, literacy, writing, and mastery of the English language
