The Archē Difference
The name “Archē” (R-K) signifies “beginning” or “origin.” It reflects the foundational belief that education starts with the everlasting truths found in God’s Word. As John 1:1 tells us, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Learning Philosophy
At Archē, biblical standards of conduct shape all areas of school life. We believe Christ is the authority over everything and is integrated into every aspect of learning. When Christ is at the center, students become lifelong learners. We help our students grow into young people grounded in Christ, able to recognize truth as they discover their purpose and live for the glory of God.
For over two millennia, Classical Christian Education has been the standard of the Western world.
Our curriculum is based on the Classical Christian Education (CCE) model. The CCE model was designed to cultivate freedom, allowing individuals to learn, work, and worship according to their beliefs.
Overview of the Classical Church
- Cultivates excellence in thinking, speaking, writing, and rhetorical skills.
- Provides a comprehensive historical timeline and framework for understanding all information rather than random bits of information.
- Incorporates classical literature and Latin instruction into the curriculum.
- Low-tech environment to reduce distractions and anxiety and foster creativity and skill development.
- Field trips are an extension of classroom learning, providing hands-on educational experiences.
Spiritual Formation
At Archē, spiritual growth is not an add-on to the curriculum but is deeply integrated into every aspect of our educational approach. Our mission is to foster academic excellence and spiritual growth, guiding students to develop a strong foundation in their faith.
- Morning Meeting: Each day, the student body comes together for prayer, music, and a message, which sets a foundation for the day and allows students to come together as a community.
- Bible Instruction: Students study and memorize scripture regularly to deepen their understanding of God’s Word and how it applies to their lives.
- Notable Speakers: Visits from guest speakers inspire students to grow in their faith, offering fresh perspectives and deepening their understanding of how God works in their lives and the world around them.
