Welcome from the Head of School

Dear Naples Classical Academy Families and Friends,
 
It is with great gratitude and sincerity that I introduce myself to you as Naples Classical Academy’s Head of School. 

We are a community united by a shared commitment to truth, goodness, and beauty. Our scholars are invited to pursue excellence through a robust classical education that cultivates wisdom, virtue, and a lifelong love of learning. It is both a great responsibility and privilege to serve a school community that esteems moral, intellectual, and civic virtue. 

Naples Classical Academy’s partnership with Hillsdale College as a K-12 member school provides an education rooted in the liberal arts and sciences. This unique collaboration provides scholars with the opportunity to seek learning with a curious mind, strive to think deeply, communicate clearly the knowledge they have acquired, and apply that wisdom to serve others and engage meaningfully with the world. 

Whether you are a current family, a prospective parent, a community partner, or simply exploring what makes our school unique, I am grateful for your interest in us. The success of Naples Classical Academy is built upon the partnership between dedicated educators, supportive families, engaged scholars, and a community that recognizes the need for an education that fosters wisdom, virtue, and responsible citizenship. 

As Head of School, I am committed to honoring the mission and vision that define Naples Classical Academy while continuing to enhance our academic programs, support our exceptional faculty, and cultivate a school community in which every scholar can flourish. 

I look forward to partnering with you as we continue building a school community where our mission is more than words on a page, it is reflected in our classrooms, our relationships, and the character of our scholars. Together, we will inspire young people to pursue wisdom, embrace virtue, and use their gifts to serve others and strengthen our community. 

Thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children. It is an honor to serve alongside you as we educate our youth to lead a better tomorrow. 

Warm regards,

Sherry D’Agostino, M.Ed.

Head of School
