Faith
Students are nurtured in a classical, Christian environment rich with traditions incorporated from the ancient apostolic faith. Scripture, lives of saints, hymns, prayer, icons, and Church history are woven throughout the curriculum. We approach the humanities and classical literature seeking eternal truths, and we approach the sciences with an eye toward what we ought to do rather than what we can do. All learning is permeated by a sense of joy and wonder in the richness of God’s creation.
Prayer is woven throughout the school day including morning prayer, at the start of a lesson, supporting someone with a personal need or before sharing a common meal together. Students meet together regularly to build community and these times provide opportunities to grow together in faith and friendship. Regular talks address various topics ranging from feast days, Church Fathers, Holy Scripture, music or contemporary issues.
Orthodox Christianity
Saint George Classical Academy is rooted in the riches of the Orthodox Church and committed to sharing the beauty and traditions of the ancient faith with students of all faith backgrounds. Though we come from different Christian churches and traditions, every member of our faculty, staff and leadership is a practicing Christian firmly committed to the basic tenets of Christianity as outlined in the Nicene Creed and grounded in Holy Scripture. We believe that the apostolic faith is the heritage of all Christians and that learning about the history of Christianity, the Church Fathers, and the lives of saints can only enrich our students and their relationship with God, regardless of their faith tradition.
