Look familiar? In years past, we have hosted Golden Key’s math festival right here at Main Line Classical Academy. This year, come check them out in their own space in KOP! You’ll still see plenty of familiar faces – teachers and classmates. Admissions will even be there running a table and answering any questions that you might have. If you love the math that your kids are learning at MLCA, you’ll love it at Golden Key and vice versa! Tickets are limited grab yours here:

An art lesson begins before the first pencil mark.

For this autumn still life, students collected leaves and helped arrange pumpkins and gourds against a black backdrop. With their teacher, they considered how the objects looked together and compared the lighting, discovering how each choice changed what they saw.

Drawing brought another kind of attention: studying the curve of a pumpkin, the edges of a leaf, and the shapes of the spaces between them. Each student worked from the same arrangement, making careful observations and decisions of their own.

In our art studio, children learn both to make beautiful things and to understand the choices that give them form.

We invite you to see our classrooms in action at our November 3 Pop-In Day. Advance registration required. Link in bio.

Even a small shape can hold an interesting mathematical question.

In first grade, our students explore how shapes fit together, turning and rearranging colorful pieces to discover different solutions. Their Beast Academy workbooks, from Art of Problem Solving, invite them to think carefully and approach each problem with curiosity.

During this lesson, two teachers worked with eight students, offering close guidance as the children explored their ideas. These early encounters with geometry introduce something we hope they will carry through their education: mathematics is a subject full of depth, beauty, and the joy of discovery.

We invite you to see this learning firsthand at our November 3 Pop-In Day. Advance registration required. Link in bio.

Great stories invite children to remember, wonder, and share what they know.

Our kindergarten students celebrated the conclusion of the Gilgamesh trilogy with a book party. Working in pairs as Gilgamesh and Enkidu, they sorted mixed-up story “tablets” into the three books, recalling the adventures and explaining their choices.

In history class with Mr. Lengkeek, they also explored Sumerian cuneiform and made clay tablets of their own. Literature and history came together through stories, conversation, and the work of their hands.

Thank you to the parents who joined us and cheered on the students’ quest! Next comes D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths.

Because children are never too young to learn great things.

Fall is beginning to settle in at MLCA, in the leaves gathered from the woods, the pumpkins taking shape in the art room, and the small signs of the season appearing throughout the school.

It is one of the things we love about life here. Children are surrounded by beauty, nature, good work, and a community that feels increasingly like home.
