Educating to the Highest Standards of the Classical Tradition
Classical
In the tradition of western civilization, education and classical education have always been synonymous. Classical education can be distinguished from modern education, in that it does not neglect the important first step of giving students the classical tools for both intellectual development and for understanding their classical Christian heritage.
Christian
The faith statement of Highlands Latin Schools is the Apostles’ Creed, the most ancient and widely accepted expression of the essential beliefs of the Christian faith. Highlands Latin Schools teach and uphold traditional Christian morality, and the Holy Scriptures as the divinely inspired word of God.
Our school is non-denominational and ecumenical and does not teach from any specific denominational tradition.
Traditional
In the traditional classroom, a knowledgeable, enthusiastic teacher carefully leads students into an understanding of each subject. The traditional classroom is consistent with human nature and the experience of many decades has demonstrated its superiority over the modern child-centered classroom.
"A classical education is a pearl of great price and worthy of the highest efforts of our teachers and students because it aspires to give not only knowledge, but wisdom."
