The word paideia (pie-day-uh) is a Greek word (paideia) meaning "educating the whole." We seek to partner with parents to help aid in educating the whole student. We believe that all creation gives glory to the Creator; therefore all works of literature, art, music and architecture are studied with Christian principles, more commonly referred to as a Biblical Worldview.
