Why Classical Education?
The pursuit of the good, the true, and the beautiful is good for everyone.
Cincinnati Classical Academy provides a time-tested, content-rich curriculum in the classical liberal arts and sciences, with instruction in moral character and civic virtue. We aim to prepare students for life, not just for college and career, through formation of the will to desire what is good, true, and beautiful. We rely on teachers, not digital devices, to teach, inspire, and form our students. We use primary sources and classic literature so that students can converse with and learn from the greatest thinkers who shaped Western culture and institutions.
A Virtual Tour of Campus
Take a virtual tour of Cincinnati Classical Academy where we guide you through the school, talk about the curriculum, and explain what the students go through on a day to day basis. We want to make sure you have all the information you need to make the best decision for you family.
What happens if my child is placed on the waiting list?
If your child is placed on the waiting list for his/her grade level, you will also receive a number that indicates where you are on that waiting list. You will be notified again when and if accepted students decline their seats and your child is moved up to the offered list. At this point you will have seven days to accept or decline the offered seat. If you accept, please follow the steps of the enrollment process.
