Our value-based culture promotes a healthy balance between home and work as essential for a well-balanced life.
About Classical Education
Classical education is language-focused, where learning is accomplished through written and spoken words rather than images (pictures, videos, and television). It is grounded in a child’s three-part critical thinking development, which results in adults becoming lifelong independent learners.
In early childhood, students absorb facts and systematically lay a foundation for advanced study. During the pre-teen years, students begin to think more analytically, seeking the “why” of how things fit together into a logical framework and focusing on cause and effect and the relationships between different fields of knowledge. By the high school years, abstract thought begins to mature. Students learn to test the truth through thoughtful examination, articulate positions through deductive reasoning rooted in factual evidence, and express conclusions in clear, forceful, and elegant language.
Why Choose CLC?
With alarming deficiencies in reading and math among students nationwide (2024 National Center for Education Statistics), our small-group, traditional tutoring offers a proven solution. Our tutors- many with advanced degrees - provide personalized attention to ensure every child thrives.
