a three-stage journey that matches how children naturally learn and grow.
Ancient philosophers have long asked questions about what brings meaning to the human experience and have settled on three things that transcend all other qualities: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Scripture leads us to understand that God is both the source and the destination in the pursuit of these things. We desire to train students to recognize truth, desire goodness, and be captivated by beauty in such a way that they are — in effect — ruined for all of this world’s counterfeits.
Donum Dei Classical Academy partners with classical and Christian schools around the nation to impart a classical Christian education. Our leaders employ an integrated curriculum and culture that aims to develop the whole human child, inspire a love for learning, and set his or her foundation on Christ.
This holistic approach to education seeks to educate not only the mind, but also the heart and body of the student at various developmental stages of learning, known as the Trivium: Grammar School, Logic School, and Rhetoric School. Content and methodology are tailored to students’ needs and abilities and build on the fundamentals of the Christian faith to create a comprehensive, biblical worldview. By employing the classical Christian education model at each stage of learning, students progress in ways that promote deep, purposeful learning with high-expectations, high-support, and high-quality student outcomes.
With access to performing arts, world-renowned museums, and parks, our students are provided with opportunities to engage with the classical Christian curriculum in exciting and enriching ways. Be it a trip to the San Francisco Symphony or geography mapping in Golden Gate Park, students actively participate in their education outside the classroom.
