GROWING

young minds

The Classical School, established in 1999, exists to support families and organizations intent on giving children an outstanding education, free from the noise and clutter which characterizes much of modern schooling. Principles of rigor, hard work, and the pursuit of exceptional accomplishments, combined with focused and personal attention to each student, help create the environment in which the student is inspired to excel. This allows a student to experience the extraordinary joy of learning and pursuing wisdom. The Classical School, Classical Educational Tours and Classical Consulting Services offer a variety of opportunities for students, families and traditional schools to be served. We know that one size does not fit all.

Steve began this endeavor in 1999. Having spent all of his career in private education as teacher, curricularist, administrator and therapist, he saw the value that small group classes could have for students who were being educated primarily at home. The rich interaction between children eager to learn and express themselves is often stifled in a typical classroom setting. Steve wanted to offer that stimulating option to home educating families who were serious about providing their children with more than just a mediocre education.

The Classical School, begun by Steve as an extension of a private Christian school in Roswell, Georgia, provided the foundation for that endeavor. Given the opportunity to take The Classical School independent, Steve started Classical Educational Services, Inc. This enables him to put his training and experience to work, in order to aid and enhance the efforts families were making in teaching their children in a home school or hybrid setting.
