Ordo Amoris Classical Academy

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. We honor those who willingly stood in the gap so that others could live in freedom, worship freely, raise families, and pursue the good, the true, and the beautiful.

This year, Memorial Day feels especially weighty.

It feels different when members of our own community are currently serving on the front lines of duty. It feels different as we watch growing hostility toward our Christian heritage, both abroad and here at home. The freedoms and foundations we have long taken for granted are not guaranteed. They are preserved through sacrifice, courage, and the steadfast conviction that truth is worth defending.

At Ordo Amoris, we are deeply grateful for those who have served — and for those who continue to serve today. We pray for protection over our military families, wisdom for our leaders, and hearts that are willing to stand firm in faith and virtue no matter the cost.

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13

Today, we remember with gratitude. May we live worthy of the sacrifices that have been made for us.

We are thrilled to announce that Ordo Amoris Classical Academy has been granted provisional membership to the for the 2026–2027 school year!

This is an exciting step forward for our growing school community and a wonderful opportunity for our students to use their God-given gifts and talents in athletic competition while representing Christ with excellence, humility, and joy. Athletics have the potential to teach discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and servant leadership, and we are grateful for the opportunity to participate alongside other like-minded Christian schools.

As our student body continues to grow, we are also pleased to announce that we will be offering a limited number of positions on our upcoming athletic teams to homeschool students for the 2026–2027 school year.

More information about sports offerings, eligibility, and participation opportunities will be shared in the coming months. We are so thankful for the Lord’s continued faithfulness to Ordo Amoris and cannot wait to see how He uses this new chapter in the life of our school!

The students of Ordo Amoris Classical Academy spent their last day of school with our annual Big Serve Day. What a privilege it is to give back to the community, and to take our students out of the classroom and into the mission field.

A huge thank you to the sweet students from Ordo Amoris Classical Academy for spending the day with us creating something truly special for the children we serve. 💙

The 3rd and 4th grade students poured so much love, creativity, and kindness into every single Hope Box they made for our Hope Bags. Each child decorated their own box with paint, stickers, encouraging words, Bible verses, and thoughtful little touches meant to remind another child that they are loved, valued, and not alone.

They also created handmade keychains to tuck inside, small treasures made by kids for kids. 🫶

One of the things that means the most to us is helping bridge the gap between children in our community and children experiencing foster or kinship care. There is something incredibly powerful about a child receiving encouragement, comfort, and care from someone their own age. It creates connection. It reminds them they are seen.

You could feel the heart behind every box created that day, and we know the children receiving them will feel it too.

Thank you, Ordo Amoris Classical Academy, for raising compassionate, thoughtful young leaders and for showing these children that their community cares deeply about them. ✨

THE BIG SERVE

Our school year concluded last Friday with our annual Big Serve—a day dedicated to giving back to the community and cultivating the virtue of faithful service. Students partnered with several local organizations, including , where they sorted food; , where they created Hope Bags; assisted living communities, where they visited residents; and local service projects, where they rolled up their sleeves for yard work and outdoor cleanup.

All of that hard work was followed with lunch and yard games outdoors in the beautiful weather.

Praise the Lord for another wonderful year in the books!

With just a few days left of the school year, there is a lot of activity still to do! Let's finish the year strong!

Paideia in Action at Ordo Amoris Classical Academy

This past Saturday morning was a beautiful picture of what Paideia truly means.

Parents, grandparents, and board members gathered together—not out of obligation, but out of shared love—to build props for our upcoming Explorers’ Day. There was laughter, hard work, creativity, and fellowship woven into every moment. Sawdust on the ground, children nearby, conversations flowing… it was the kind of morning that reminds us that education is not confined to a classroom—it is a way of life.

At Ordo Amoris, Paideia is more than a word. It is the cultivation of a community where truth, goodness, and beauty are pursued together. It is fathers and mothers giving their time, grandparents lending their wisdom, and leaders serving shoulder to shoulder for the sake of our children.

This is what makes our school so unique. We are not simply educating students—we are forming a people.

To all who came out to serve: thank you. Your hands built more than props… they helped build the kind of culture we pray will shape hearts for years to come.

What a fantastic morning for Ordo Amoris students, who were captivated by Bay Shore Ballet's stunning performance of Cinderella! We're incredibly proud of our students who strive to perfect their talents and bring glory to God.

A key benefit of our small school is the close relationships our students develop, and it's a joy to see them supporting one another across different age groups.
