What is Classical Education?
“Classical education, depends on a three-part process of training the mind. The early years of school are spent in absorbing facts, systematically laying the foundations for advanced study. In the middle grades, students learn to think through arguments. In the high school years, they learn to express themselves.”
The Collaborative Approach
The collaborative approach to classical education combines the best attributes of homeschooling and traditional schooling, creating a unified educational experience under a cohesive curriculum. This model, also known as “collaborative,” “hybrid,” or “University Model,” aims to integrate the strengths of both educational models into one comprehensive program. Petra Christian Academy offers a model where students learn in the classroom two days per week with professional teachers, while parents teach lessons and oversee assignments on home days.
