Gardening Club
The Classical Gardening Club adheres to the philosophy that nature contains a ready wealth of knowledge which should be eagerly pursued by students of all ages. A garden is a setting in which we may tame and temper nature itself, thereby learning about its character in the likeness of flora and vegetation. By studying the historical and scientific aspects of gardening, the Classical Gardening Club aims to inspire the virtues of patience and perseverance demonstrated through the cultivation of the earth. Open to all CLASSICAL students. Faculty moderators: Ms. Cefalu and Mr. Sam Carpenter.
Schola Cantorum
Schola Cantorum at Cincinnati Classical Academy is a choral ensemble that offers students an opportunity to explore the beauty of music, study musical notation, and perform great pieces of sacred music and Gregorian chant. Members of the Schola have the chance to refine their vocal techniques and develop their musical skills. Our Schola Cantorum explores a repertoire encompassing sacred music from various periods. Students have the chance to showcase their talents through a spring concert. Faculty moderator: Ms. Mears.
Drama Club
The Drama Club is an exciting opportunity for your children to discover and share stories in unique and engaging ways. At its heart, theater is all about storytelling—exploring different perspectives and experiencing the world through the eyes of others. This program will guide your child through the many facets of theater, from learning how to audition, to playing games that enhance theatrical skills, to participating in workshops with local theater professionals. We’re committed to providing an in-depth exploration of what theater can be, in all its diverse forms. Your child will have the opportunity to expand their acting abilities while also gaining insight into the technical aspects of theater and exploring various theatrical styles. We can’t wait to embark on this creative journey together! Faculty moderator: Mrs. Jaymes

The Fra Angelico Art Guild will provide much-needed studio time in the Fra Angelico Arts Center for students to be introduced to new techniques and materials in the visual arts. This after-school program will also allow the time and space for students of all ages to develop their existing skills and ideas to create beautiful art and friendships. Guild members will explore a variety of themes in genres of art history as well as topics related to the seasons or specific types of art materials. The Art Guild is open to all Cincinnati Classical students. There are several sessions throughout the year. Faculty moderators: Mrs. Hofmann and Ms. Calvino.
