ACADEMICS
TRUTH • GOODNESS • beauty
On behalf of Libertas Academy, I want to thank our families for entrusting your children to us for the bulk of their waking hours. We do not take this responsibility lightly. Our goal is to provide a consistent, rigorous, Christ-centered education that graduates students who are Biblically literate, disciplined, compassionate, articulate and courageous.
Each year, starting with TK, our students learn how to be active participants in their own learning. According to Mortimer Adler, a giant in the history of education, “All genuine learning is active, not passive. It is a process of discovery in which the student, not the teacher, is the primary agent. Each student is a human being who can be entrusted with an active role in the process of learning.” Layer upon layer, precept upon precept, grade level after grade level up through 12th grade, our students are learning how to learn, how to wonder, and how to discern truth.
We are prayerfully committed to giving your students our very best as teachers and administrators, to coach them to be active participants in their own education, to seek truth, goodness and beauty in a world turned upside down. Our students will rest in the knowledge that no matter how crazy it gets out there, Jesus is LORD and we will worship Him in spirit and truth. Thank you for entrusting a part of your child’s education to us and please keep our school in your prayers as we seek to honor God in this worthy endeavor.
Thank you,
Miranda Mantei

WHAT IS CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN EDUCATION?
The classical Christian education model combines the structure of classical education with a distinctly biblical worldview. It emphasizes the cultivation of wisdom, virtue, and faith, integrating academic rigor with spiritual formation, following the trivium stages, and includes Christian principles and biblical teachings throughout the curriculum.
The goal of classical Christian Education is not only academic excellence but also to raise students who are thoughtful, articulate Christians, equipped to engage with the world from a solid foundation of their faith. It seeks to develop the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—preparing students to lead virtuous, purposeful lives with a firm foundation in Jesus Christ and a biblical worldview.

Frequently asked questions
Our faith isn't our “lens,” as if we can take off the glasses. It is our “eyeball;” it is how we see the world. Without our faith there is no light by which to see. We would be merely groping around in the dark.
