Sola Gratia Classical Academy (SGCA) is the Triangle’s Premier Hybrid Homeschooling Community that employs the content of a classical curriculum and the pedagogy of intentional, embodied learning. Our practices are the diligent and purposeful development of the mind, body and soul of a student.
Our mission is to pursue deep engagement that results in enjoyable, permanent learning. We strive for excellence in the classical tradition, and seek to be a gentle college preparatory community.
Our community is dedicated to offering a learning environment that immerses the student in the coursework. Enjoyable, yet challenging courses are offered at an affordable price that enables parents to oversee their child’s learning. Parents have the final say in their student’s education, and work collaboratively alongside our staff.
What is a Classical Education?
Classical education is a long tradition of education that has emphasized seeking truth, goodness, and beauty and the study of the liberal arts and the great books. What are the liberal arts? They are grammar, logic, rhetoric (the verbal arts of the trivium), arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy (the mathematical arts of the quadrivium). Classical education also includes the study of Latin. The study of these subjects in the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty teaches students how to learn, how to think, and how to pursue wisdom.
It is precisely this kind of education that has produced countless great leaders, inventors, scientists, writers, philosophers, theologians, physicians, lawyers, artists, and musicians over the centuries. Classical education never really disappeared, but it did diminish starting around 1900 with the advent of progressive education. In an effort to restore this most proven form of education, the liberal arts tradition has been renewed and expanded again over the last thirty years.
We endeavor to renew this classical tradition. We do so by focusing on a core curriculum of Latin, writing, logic/rhetoric, arithmetic/mathematics, science, and a study of the great books. Our students study these subjects together with Academic Mentors during our Campus Days and continue that study at home in their homeschools via assigned corework.
