Caldwell Academy Dialectic School Distinctions
Caldwell Academy, by design and purpose,
is distinguished by providing:
- an educational setting where students learn
to think about
all of life within the framework of a Biblical worldview
- a community school unaffiliated with one church
or denomination yet unified in Christ
- an emphasis on parental authority and
privilege as educators of their children
- a rigorous classical curriculum, including Latin and Logic,
which builds critical thinking and rhetoric skills
- a small school which:
- promotes individualized attention in the classroom
- maximizes leadership opportunities
- allows for participation in clubs
- allows for participation on sports teams
- fosters relationships with faculty and administration
