At Saint George Classical Academy we believe that the teacher is the curriculum. Children learn through imitation and we strive to hire teachers who are true examples of faith, wisdom and virtue. Saint George is a classical school, grounded in the Orthodox Christian faith. Our grammar school program is influenced by a Charlotte Mason approach, emphasizing the formation of habits and virtue, inquiry and beautiful literature.
