tradition thousands of years old that continues to prove
successful for educating students in the 21st Century. It is a
way of learning grounded in the belief that all knowledge
is interrelated and that learning follows the natural process
of human growth and development. The two foundations of
the classical model of learning are these.
1. Learning is language-focused, accomplished through
written and spoken word.
2. Classical learning has a three-part pattern that directly
correlates to the natural cognitive development of children
as they grow and mature toward adulthood in three basic
stages. The ancient Greeks called these stages grammar
(mastering facts), dialectic or logic (building logical
reasoning and critical thinking), and rhetoric (articulate
expression that combines logic and reasoning).
• The school also includes liberal arts subjects to educate
the whole child.
Why is St. Max Kolbe a good choice for your child?
Your child’s learning builds appropriate knowledge
and skills across multiple disciplines. And, because private
education is both a choice and a financial investment that
demonstrates a commitment to something far more than
learning, the school also teaches faith, character and
virtuous behavior.
Ultimately, the school’s goal is for every child to leave
ready for middle and high school, prepared to take their
place as confident lifelong learners and good citizens. It is
also important to that they know they are a unique child
of God with gifts to share in the world He created. These
outcomes form the core of our curriculum. St. Max Kolbe staff
look forward to sharing this education experience with your
child and your family.
