What a wonderful first week at Ordo Amoris! ❤️

There is something especially sweet about the beginning of a new school year—the sound of hymns filling the halls, new books being opened, old friendships picking right back up, new friendships beginning, and teachers and students settling into the rhythms of learning together.

This week was full of so many of the things we love about Ordo: Scripture and prayer, beautiful stories, hard work, time outdoors, laughter around the lunch table, and plenty of opportunities to practice patience, kindness, courage, and grace.

As we begin another year, we are reminded again of our theme from Psalm 145:4: “One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.”

That is our prayer for this year—that in every lesson, every conversation, every challenge, and every ordinary moment, we would faithfully pass on what is true, good, and beautiful to the next generation.

Week One is in the books. We are grateful, a little tired, and very excited for the year ahead! Generation to Generation. ❤️

As college classes begin, we are especially mindful of our Ordo Amoris graduates who are stepping into a new season of learning, growth, and independence.

Our prayer has always been that an Ordo education would prepare students for far more than the next classroom—that they would leave us knowing what is true, loving what is good, and pursuing what is beautiful, with Christ at the center of it all.

Today, we pray that the Lord would give our graduates wisdom and discernment, surround them with faithful friends and mentors, strengthen their faith, and give them courage to stand firmly for truth. May they enter every classroom ready to learn, think deeply, serve others, and glorify God with the gifts He has given them.

They may have graduated from Ordo, but they will always be part of our school family. Go faithfully, graduates. We are praying for you! ❤️

"One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts."
Psalm 145:4

Growing in Gratitude Vision Dinner — You’re Invited!

We are less than a month away from the Ordo Amoris Classical Academy Growing in Gratitude Gala, and we would love for you to join us!

This year’s Gala is more than a fundraiser—it is an evening to celebrate what God has done through Ordo Amoris, share the vision for where we are going, and give thanks for the families, teachers, friends, and supporters who have helped make our little school possible. We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Bryan Dawson, founder of 1819 News and classical Christian education advocate, to be our guest speaker.

Saturday, September 12
The Venue at Hidden Lake

There is no cost to attend this year! We simply ask that you register in advance so we can plan seating and dinner accordingly. Bring a friend, fill a table, and come hear the story of Ordo Amoris and the vision for the generations to come.

We are Growing in Gratitude—grateful for God’s provision, grateful for our community, and excited for what is ahead.

We are so thankful to have Joshua Butcher returning this year as our Academic Dean and as our Rhetoric teacher.

Joshua Butcher has been involved in Classical Christian Education since 2010 in the roles of teacher, administrator, ex-officio board member, headmaster, parent, and lover of Western Culture. With degrees from Liberty University (BS Communication) and Texas A&M (MA Rhetoric & Public Affairs) Joshua has spent the last fifteen years unlearning and relearning what "traditional" education really is; rediscovering that the path to a good future for our children means honoring the forefathers of our past.

Joshua, with his wife, Hannah, joined the southern Alabama community in December of 2024 along with their six children (Josiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Ezra, Evelyn, and Theodore).
