The Academy will offer a classical education through an affiliation with the Hillsdale College K-12 Education Office. The school's mission is to cultivate academic and moral integrity in each student through a content-rich classical curriculum, paired with intentional character development within a lifelong learning environment grounded in a Biblical worldview.
Their curriculum covers phonics, grammar, math, science, history, literature, and philosophy. Garden State Classical Academy will also emphasize physical education, music, and art daily and begin teaching Latin courses in the fourth grade. The Academy emphasizes core virtues that serve as its educational approach's foundation. By focusing on these moral and civic virtues, Garden State Classical Academy aims to prepare students to face challenges beyond the classroom.
“There is a growing movement favoring a strategic, limited use of technology alongside traditional teacher-led classrooms, a focus on objective Truth, and a respect for parental authority in educational and health-related decisions." Anne Poppen, the Head of School at the Academy, stated, "We believe that a classical curriculum is the best way to restore the purpose of education. We look forward to introducing this program to new families who share our commitment to revitalizing American education, upholding traditional family values, and fostering a Biblical foundation in the Christian faith."
The Academy's location and program allow local families to choose a high-quality classical education for their children, aiming to guide students in doing the Good, knowing the Truth, and loving the Beautiful.
Enrollment for the 2025-26 school year is now open. The process begins with an introductory phone call and the completion of an admissions application, which can be seen here.
