Whitefield Academy provides academic excellence in a Christ centered environment. Starting with half day or full day kindergarten all the way through 12th grade, Whitefield is a classical Christian school that graduates critical thinkers, clear communicators and compassionate leaders.
Fifteen years ago, a few families started Whitefield because they desired a superior education for their children. Since then Whitefield has grown to over 195 students, while preserving its family-friendly community and employing a time-tested, classical method which teaches mastery of facts, logical reasoning and persuasive expression. Our Christian, classical education cultivates well-trained minds prepared for higher education and lifelong learning for the glory of God.
"Education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. . . . We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character -- that is the goal of true education."
You may remember that I quoted these lines, which come from Martin Luther King, Jr., when I was talking about a student's convocation speech at Dartmouth College. But they are worth pondering, because they raise a very profound question: How, in today's society, do we provide the kind of "true education" that King was talking about, that develops both character and intelligence?
The primary mission of The Association of Classical and Christian Schools
is to promote, establish, and equip schools committed to a classical approach to education in light of a Christian worldview grounded in the Old and New Testament Scriptures.
