The new school with a time-tested tradition
Dogwood Classical Academy is working to bring K-12 classical liberal arts education to North Carolina.
At Dogwood Classical Academy, we provide a proper elementary education that develops a broad and strong base of virtue, scholarship, and an understanding of Western Civilization that develops prepared citizens. To that end, we concentrate on phonics, art, history, and literature along with geography, science, and math in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Latin is then added to the curriculum.
Throughout we instill in each student respect for themselves, their teachers, the process of learning, and their Republic. They are made aware of their own responsibility for scholarship so they are prepared for the higher education to follow.
Our goal, throughout the K-12 experience, is the development of virtue and wisdom in engaged citizens. Specialization for a successful career is certainly an important pursuit; however, narrowing ones focus before building a context of their heritage robs the student of the foundation necessary for a fulfilled life.
