School Notes
The New Classical Academy offers a classical education in a
nurturing, individualized learning environment. Our school
graduates polite, enthusiastic, thoughtful young men and women who
are strong readers, adept mathematicians, skilled writers, and
leaders with an extensive working knowledge of history,
science,geography, and the arts.
Our philosophy encompasses cooperative, multi-age learning, as
well as independent, self-directed study. The school is alive with
real science experiments, dramatic presentations, debates, art
projects, music, classic literature, and manipulative math.
As our educational philosophy recognizes that children need
time for both work and play, child-directed imaginative play
andoutdoor playare a substantial part of every day at
our school.
The New Classical Academy curriculum combines individualized
progression through thebasics--reading, arithmetic and
mathematics, and handwriting--with a rotating
school-widecourse of studyin the sciences, history, and
literature. As students gain mastery of the more mechanical aspects
of scholarship, they are able to manage increasingly advanced
presentation and exploration of the material.
The classical concept of the trivium guides our presentation of
the material we teach, giving students first the knowledge, then
the understanding, and finally the creativity to approach each
subject in the fullest way. In this way, we make knowledge
attainable to all students, regardless of their learning
differences.

TNCA has been the perfect place for our boys. The morning block of learning time teaches kids to focus and the large amount of outside time keeps them able to learn. The curriculum is tailored to each child so that everyone is challenged. Learning with kids in other grades teaches respect and kindness. The teachers love the kids - and the families!
