Knowledge, wisdom, and virtue, building whole people who want to follow Christ
At Logos we seek to educate a whole child, not just a mind. For that reason, we follow the wisdom of 2 Peter 1:5 which says, “For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and your virtue with knowledge…” Our focus at Logos is to grow students simultaneously in all three areas to ensure the development of a complete person.
What is a classical education?
What is a classical education?
Classical education denotes the authoritative, traditional, and enduring stream of education begun by the Greeks and Romans, enhanced by the Church through the centuries, and revived by contemporary educators. Through careful study of integrated subject matter students first gain knowledge and then, over time, begin to apply that knowledge to properly understand the world around them. Classical education seeks to develop not only the mind, but a whole person, training students in in virtue and in knowledge with the ability to discern the good, the true and the beautiful and equipped to be life-long learners.

Is it compatible with a biblical worldview?
YES! God is the source, and Christ is the embodiment, of all that is True, Good and Beautiful, and the Bible is His revelation of Himself that enables us know, glorify, and enjoy God. As students gain knowledge, they do so with the Bible as the guiding source. In all areas of study students will see God’s plan and purpose for humanity and will, therefore, have a better understanding of who they are in relationship to a perfect, holy, just, and loving Creator. The end goal is not to simply acquire knowledge of who God is, but to apply that knowledge to all areas of life.
Going beyond school work
Furthermore, we instruct students in a variety of virtues, with a special focus on reverence, humility, self-control, fortitude, and justice. In these ways, with the help of the Holy Spirit, students will be equipped with wisdom — skill for living in God’s world.

Equipping students as whole people
In addition to preparing students for a lifetime of learning, we desire to equip them to honor Christ in every aspect of their lives. A complete education must take into account the whole person — heart, soul, mind and strength. As a result, we seek to engage the hearts of our students, with the hope that they will treasure Jesus Christ as their Redeemer and Lord, and find their greatest delight in him. We strive for academic excellence to help students love God with all their minds and to form a biblical worldview that will serve as a lens through which they can interpret the messages that assail them in our information age.
