A tuition-free public charter school pursuing truth, goodness and beauty by the oldest means there is.
01 — Our Mission
What we are for
Classical Education is the most time-tested educational means of pursuing truth, goodness, and beauty. Rooted in centuries of tradition and dating back to the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome, it places a strong emphasis on students thinking deeply, acting compassionately, asking questions, and engaging in thoughtful discourse.
Una educación clásica abarca un amplio abanico de materias, como literatura, historia, matemáticas, ciencias, filosofía, latín, lógica, retórica, educación física, música y arte. Esta amplitud de conocimientos anima a los alumnos a buscar la sabiduría y a establecer conexiones entre diversas ideas y contenidos.
02 — The Approach
The classical education approach
American Classical Academy Rutherford is built on the premise that if the aim of education is human happiness, we must structure our efforts on what is most conducive to achieving that end. That begins with understanding what happiness is and is not.
El propósito de este planteamiento es enseñar a los niños a pensar poniéndoles delante, en cada etapa del aprendizaje, modelos adecuados a su edad de cómo se debe buscar la verdad, el bien y la belleza, y animándoles así a desarrollar los mismos hábitos de curiosidad, humildad y reverencia en sus propios estudios.
This education, of course, is rigorous and challenging; and it is highly dependent on quality teaching. The success of the classical model shows that teachers and students are up to the task. By instilling a love of learning and teaching students how to think deeply and adeptly, the teacher passes on the priceless legacy of enabling another to respond with philosophic acuity to a variety of different challenges and opportunities in life.
03 — American
Why an American classical education
Our commitment at ACAR to classical education is furthered by our belief that we have a civic and patriotic duty to teach the founding principles of the United States, including constitutional government, individual liberty, and the rule of law. In instilling an understanding and appreciation of America’s unique political heritage, we better enable students to search for truth, goodness, and beauty, in all its unique complexity in American history.
American classical education centers on the study of the great books of Western civilization, including classical Greek and Roman texts, works of literature, philosophy, and political thought. This approach provides students with a deep and comprehensive understanding of the intellectual and cultural foundations of Western society.
