Alethia Academy assists faithful
parents in educating their children to the glory of God through
a curriculum rooted in a God-centered view of life. Education at
Alethia is inherently unique in philosophy and in the science of
teaching.
As we seek to
offer an education that is both rich and challenging for all students
in light of each student's God-gifted academic abilities, we employ
different methods to realize the extraordinary results that God
has appointed for our children. It is through classical and time-tested
methods, that Alethia intends to provide a sound and superior academic
education, integrated with a Christian view of God and the world
based on the authoritative and inerrant Word of God.
A
Christian Worldview
A Christian
education emphasizes seeking and enjoying God's glory in every subject
and all of life
The Christian
worldview is the lens through which we see, understand, and teach
about God's World.
We present all
ideas and concepts as part of a larger body of truth, known through
God's Word.
Christloving
and following Himis emphasized in all subjects.
Parents, those
entrusted with primary educational responsibility, directly engage
in the educational process.
A Classical Approach to Education
In addition
to studying Latin and emphasizing our own context of Western Civilization,
Classical means educating developmentally, that is with the
grain
Young children
find it easy to memorize and chant. At this stage, the ABC's of
each subject are put in place.
Preteens find
it easy to debate and question. At this stage, the logic of each
subject is taught.
Young adults
are more expressive and independent. At this stage, the student
is taught how to think and present himself and his ideas persuasively.
