The Curriculum

The Great Books

Our students read Homer, Plato, and Aristotle — not summaries, not excerpts. The unabridged Western tradition, from the beginning.

We do not teach children what to think. We teach them how to think — with Socrates, with Aristotle, with Augustine. The tradition is not a burden. It is a gift.

Sustain the Tradition

The Foundation does what the charter cannot.

Public charter dollars cover the floor. Foundation gifts cover the library, the stage, the science lab, the senior trip — every part of a classical education that funding formulas were not built to measure. Arizona residents may direct up to $200 single / $400 joint to the network through the AZ Public School Tax Credit at no net cost.

  • Patron

    $2,500

  • Benefactor
