A step back in time… lively music, graceful patterns and A LOT of laughter… CASJE students are learning a variety of dances this semester. Pictured is an English Country Dance from the 1600s called “The Black Nag”.

At CASJE, where our teachers lead Socratic discussions, explore great works of literature, and guide students toward truth, goodness, and beauty, it seems only appropriate to have coffee equal to the mission ☕️
With the arrival of our new coffee maker and espresso machine, our educators are now even better sustained for the joyful work of forming both intellect and character. While we can’t promise it will make Aristotle easier to teach, it will certainly energize the conversation.
