My overall experience with going to Classical Prepatory is that I've learned more about classical literature then at any other school. I know the teachers very well they all keep me on track and I learn something new everyday or try to. The college readiness is great I am on my way to applying to colleges and just overall a great experience.

Good school! Rigorous education and lets students be very prepared for college. Admin can be strict and it is not the best in sports or diversity.

I have two children attending. My son started in 1st grade, now in second. My daughter is in VPK. We love that the curriculum is very rigorous. In first grade my 6 year old's book of the month to discuss was Homer's The Odyssey. He is already writing cursive in second grade, and by the middle of first grade he knew the Greek alphabets in its entirety, and is now starting to learn Latin. I love how strict they are about personal development, along with academic.

The staff holds students accountable while also promoting strong ethical values that are not always e...

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this school. Our children genuinely love going every day, which says everything. The staff goes above and beyond to focus on the whole child—not just academics, but character, confidence, and kindness. It’s clear they are intentional about shaping studen...

This school is not very well managed, and is oddly strict. I wouldn't even recommend this school to my greatest enemy. The start time is terribly early, the teachers are rude, and the architecture of the Borealis building is very bad and not well maintained. The school spends more money on overprice...
