School Notes
The mission of Franklin Classical School is to provide a
biblically-based education that is both academically excellent and
spiritually vital to enable young men and women to know and serve
the Lord Jesus Christ and to transform families, institutions, and
nations for the glory of God.
The three-fold vision of Franklin Classical is to:
1.Raise up the next generation of Christian cultural and
spiritual leaders;
2.Model a biblical pattern of discipleship through
parent-directed, covenantal, and classical education;
3.Lay foundations for economic and social justice,
artistic excellence, intellectual achievement, worldview
discernment, physical health, and evangelistic passion so that each
student may ultimately attain their high calling and realize their
destiny. Therefore the curriculum is both college preparatory and
missions preparatory; it is both academically accelerated and
socially responsive; it is both community oriented and globally
minded.
FCS offers a full curriculum for grades K-12. Our college
preparatory curriculum allows students to graduate with all
necessary state credits, yet the school is still structured so that
parents may choose to homeschool for select subjects. Fine Arts and
Athletic curricula have been exciting areas of growth for FCS in
recent years.
What do we mean by Classical?
Classical Education seeks to build wisdom in the lives and
hearts of students. True education is far more than simply the
accumulation of knowledge and understanding. True education is
doing what we know to be right rather than simply believing in it.
This approach teaches students to love learning, think soundly, and
communicate persuasively. In the western world, our culture has
grown from the heritage of the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans.
Their foundations of learning, law, theology, and customs have
shaped our way of life today. Classical Education, therefore, stems
from a teaching method developed by early Christians, which
revolves around the Seven Liberal Arts. Classical education grew as
the gospel spread throughout the ancient classical world and
continued to develop throughout the Middle Ages with remarkable
success. The first three of these Seven Liberal Arts were called
the Trivium and comprised the means by which students were given
the "tools of learning." The first, grammar, concerns the specific
content knowledge of a subject. Logic is the second and deals with
the reasoning which ties the facts together. Finally, Rhetoric is
used to teach the students how to express what they have learned in
a polished and effective manner. These aspects of the Trivium
correspond to what the writer of Proverbs termed "knowledge,"
"understanding," and "wisdom."
What do we mean by Christian?
Education, by its very nature, must address the great question
of life. Who am I? Why am I here? How must I live? Every school
answers these questions through their own worldview lense, whether
implicitly or boldly stated. At Franklin Classical School, our
foundational worldview is the unchangeable Word of Godthe Bible.
Because God created the world and everything in it, all creation is
subject to Him. Because God revealed Himself in His creation, in
the Bible, and in His Son Jesus Christ, we may confidently teach
all subjects in the light of His Lordship. This, in turn, affects
more than mere academics. We strive to practice biblical living and
teaching everywhere, not only in our curriculum, but in the lives
of our administration and staff. We are absolutely committed to the
central principles of the Christian faith, but allow for a variety
of convictions on secondary doctrinal principles. Our staff
represents many different evangelical churches, and the same is
true of the vast majority of our student body. The students
consequently live in a Christian culture dominated by the authority
of the Word of God. As we seek to build Christian unity between the
families of the school, we also pray that Franklin Classical School
will never drift from stressing the importance of a consistent and
personal adherence to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
