John Paul the Great Academy seeks to carry on the tradition of authentic Catholic classical education. Classical education embraces excellence in human achievement and holds this before students as a model. Giving witness to goodness, truth, and beauty—and thereby, to God—this exposure to excellence awakens in the student the deepest sensibilities to all that is noble and good. The classics of literature, art, and music endure and remain to inspire and to educate those who study and absorb their lessons. The classics document humanity’s search for the truth; this search finds its complete fulfillment in the Incarnation of the Son of God.
The classical curriculum:- Is suited to the full development of the student according to his needs and abilities;
- Recognizes, in its choice of subjects and experiences, a hierarchy of values with certain subjects having intrinsic value over others and, thus, contributing more to the attainment of the educational aims of the Academy;
- Provides for the progressive mastery of material that constantly challenges the developing abilities of the student;
- Is integrated through the coordination of several subjects and activities with a common philosophy permeating the whole; and
- Promotes self-discipline in the student as exhibited in conduct, study, memorization, thinking, expression, and imagination.
