Cultivating Christian piety

The Classical Academy (TCA) cultivates Christian piety by directing students’ minds and hearts toward Christ, in whom all truth, goodness, and beauty hold together. We seek to develop a culture of joy, wonder, and gratitude through classical education in the liberal arts tradition.
