“A classical education is primarily concerned with the right reordering of the student's affections, teaching them to enjoy good things, teaching them to hate wicked things, teaching them to love most what is most worthy of their love.”
— Gene Edward Veith Jr.

“For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves…”

Classical education is an active love and the love of a lifetime, and not just for some abstract ideals or ideas or even texts, but for people whose “lives you want to water and feed and to whom you want to give practices and patterns discovered over centuries that will serve them here and now in their lives and bodies.”
— Christine Perrin, “The Renewal of Classical Education Requires Replanting a Tree”

At JPG, we promote a classical view of education which is incarnational, with Christ as the Logos, forming students in and for defending the truth in the public square, and culminating in the Beatific Vision for the greater glory of God: Omnia in Excellentia — Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. — 𝘍𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘵 𝘙𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰, 83.
