It's been a week since school got out and we already miss the busy hum of activity and the student faces that fill our halls during the year! Have a great summer, Griffins!

The ultimate goal of classical education is to shape the character of our students. As Aristotle observed, proper education consists of learning what to love and how to act. To this end, we immerse our students in an ongoing conversation about what it means to act with excellence, or virtue. We celebrate seven classical virtues - courage, moderation, justice, responsibility, prudence, friendship, and wonder.

We minimize the presence of technology in the classroom in favor of direct instruction and face-to-face interactions. Where possible, we choose handwriting over typing, books and paper over screens, and effort and creativity over automation.

Here are some more great moments from Field Day!

School's out for summer! On our last day, our students, staff, and families reveled in the stunning Colorado spring weather as we closed out the school year with Field Day!

This week, our Kindergarten continuation ceremony celebrated the academic accomplishments of our youngest Griffins. We look forward to seeing these promising scholars do great things as they move on to first grade!

Students may wear school-appropriate red, white, and blue! Please no jeans, tank tops, or short shorts. This is a great opportunity for students to wear their Wonder Day tie dye shirt! Parents are invited to come spectate. Please check your email for more details.

Our spirit store has the perfect sweatshirt for this gray, chilly day! Here, I'm wearing the BSN SPORTS Men's Cotton Rich Fleece Crew Neck. Check out this, and many other items in our spirit store at:
