The Classical Approach
Naples Classical Academy develops within its scholars the intellectual and personal habits and skills upon which responsible, independent, and flourishing lives are built, in the firm belief that such lives are the basis of a free and just society. The Academy strives to offer enrichment, to develop character through both curricular and extracurricular offerings, and to nurture the child’s humanity with a constant view to the potential adult. The time-honored liberal arts curriculum and pedagogy direct scholar achievement toward mastery of the fundamentals in the basic academic skills, exploration of the arts and sciences, and understanding of the foundational tenets of our Western heritage.
