Westminster builds upon the rich tradition of a classical liberal arts education to equip students to know and love that which is true, good, and beautiful. Dating all the way back to the 4th century B.C., classical education became the primary method of instruction up until the early 20th century. At root, this method seeks to build a solid foundation of knowledge, skills, and tools in students' hearts and minds so that they are well-prepared to live a fruitful life. Most importantly, classical education seeks to cultivate the affection of students to love wisdom and virtue. When equipped with this foundation, students receive instruction in all of the fundamental subjects like reading, math, grammar, and writing while also possessing the ability to think critically, speak with eloquence, and write with persuasion. The end result is students who are well prepared for a lifetime of learning because they have been equipped with the tools necessary to think and learn for themselves. To learn more about our approach to classical education, we recommend The Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Classical Christian Education by Kevin Clark and Ravi Jain and Wisdom and Eloquence: A Christian Paradigm for Classical Learning by Robert Littlejohn and Charles T. Evans.
