Paideia Classical Community is not a traditional school, meeting five days a week. Paideia and parents are accountable to one another. Paideia meets one day a week*, lays out the primary curriculum and course of study, and the discussion around the ideas studied. We provide a space for interacting with others and growing in group-centered activities. The implementation of the curriculum occurs at home where parents work with the student to continue the discussion, monitor assignments, provide accountability, and assign final grades. As possible, accommodations for a struggling learner can be made with the parent through a modified assignment plan.
We recognize in coming together we yield a portion of our independence to gain the blessing and benefits of community. The School of Wonder provides greater independence and the The School of Wisdom provides greater structure and requires greater participation and accountability. Paideia seeks to foster a diverse, supportive, and encouraging community where the body of Christ is at work through our various gifts and talents for the greater aim of providing our children a formative education.
In the spirit of partnership, parents are welcomed and encouraged to proactively and regularly communicate with their student’s mentors. Mentors are eager to provide ideas, support, and appropriate modifications to help parents and students succeed.
