Our educational model addresses the heart and soul of a student as well as the mind. Students are taught a Christian worldview and Christian virtues through God’s Word as a framework for learning all subjects.

Our liberal arts approach goes beyond the vocational and technical training of most contemporary education. Robust academics equip your student with innovative problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

We begin with the end in mind. While we’re proud of our students’ academic achievement, we’re especially grateful for the fruit of the Spirit that continues to thrive beyond graduation.

WHY CHOOSE A CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL?

CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW

At the heart of our school and its culture is a desire to nurture your child’s relationship with Jesus and integrate all learning through the lens of God’s Word.

CLASSICAL METHOD

Your student will be educated in the tradition of the seven liberal arts, being equipped with the ability to reason and communicate well through the tools of learning.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

We consider ourselves an extension of your family unit. Our program is structured in such a way as to foster and support the values and beliefs you are teaching at home.

VIBRANT CULTURE

Teachers and students build lasting relationships as they are encouraged to love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and to love their neighbor as themselves.

IS PAIDEIA ACADEMY RIGHT FOR MY CHILD?

At Paideia Academy, we are concerned about the modern weakening of faith and withering of education. Therefore, we are a classical Christian school seeking to educate students with a challenging program in a Christ-centered culture, where they find that the roots of their faith continue to deepen as they mature.

Since 2004, Paideia Academy has experienced steady growth and success in equipping servant leaders who love God and love learning.

This might be a great fit for your child if:

Your family is committed to intentionally living out the Christian faith in your home.
You seek to partner with a school that prioritizes shepherding students’ hearts while integrating all learning with Christ at the center.
You recognize the value of a classical education which has been largely lost in our modern schools.
You are looking for a school that teaches your student to communicate effectively, reason critically, study independently, and serve faithfully.
You want a robust and rewarding academic program that draws out your child’s strengths and holds the bar high.
You appreciate small class sizes and a tight-knit community that fosters Christian culture.

If this list describes you, we invite you to

“To say that Paideia prepared me would be an understatement. My classical education has shaped my whole college experience for the better, providing me valuable academic insights, a determined work ethic, and love for Christ in everything I accomplish.”

HANNAH WARRICK

“Our children have found lifelong friends as they are learning how to impact the world with the love of the Lord in excellence, with confidence, and in humility. Paideia welcomed them into challenging and rich academics, keeping Christ in the center of all learning and conversations.”
