Our Classical University-Model® School
This model is at the very heart of who we are. It is designed to unite the strengths of two worlds— the expertise and community of a school and the discipleship and influence of the home. The result is an educational experience that is academically rigorous, spiritually grounded, and
deeply relational.
Our Classical, Christian University-Model® is a unique blend of traditional classroom instruction and home-based learning, built on the belief that parents are called by God to be the primary educators and disciplers of their children. Instead of attending school five days a week, students come to campus for classroom instruction two days each week (Mondays and Wednesdays) and continue their learning at home on the remaining days (Tuesdays and Thursdays) under the direction of their parents. Fridays are reserved for enrichment opportunities such as art, music, or special studies.
This approach provides the structure, curriculum, and expert teaching of a traditional school while maintaining the flexibility, family involvement, and discipleship opportunities often found in home education. It is a model that honors God’s design for the family and elevates the role of parents as central to a child’s growth and formation.
Because our Classical, Christian University-Model® is a partnership, parents play a vital role in their child’s education. This does not mean you must become a full-time teacher or curriculum specialist — that’s the school’s job. Rather, your role is to guide, support, and reinforce the learning that begins in the classroom.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
> Guided Instruction: You will use the lesson plans, materials, and clear directions
provided by your child’s teacher to support their learning at home.
> Consistent Communication: You’ll communicate regularly with teachers about your
child’s progress, questions, or challenges.
> Creating a Learning Environment: You’ll help establish a home atmosphere conducive
to learning — one that is peaceful, structured, and encouraging.
> Modeling Faith and Learning: Most importantly, you’ll model what it means to love God
with heart and mind, showing your children that education is not just about knowledge
but about growing in wisdom and character.
We believe that this practice is the best way to fulfill the words of Deuteronomy 6:6–7:
“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them
diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk
by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise.”
Our Classical, Christian University-Model® exists to help families live out this calling — not alone, but in partnership with a school that shares your faith and mission.
This intentional structure provides extraordinary benefits for children and their families.
Students:
> Learn responsibility, time management, and independent study skills from an early age.
> Deepen their understanding and retention by practicing concepts at home.
> Experience a consistent integration of faith, family, and academics.
> Build meaningful relationships with teachers and classmates in a smaller, close-knit learning environment while continuing in the strong relationships of family.
Families:
> Enjoy a more balanced, intentional weekly rhythm.
> Experience increased opportunities for discipleship and meaningful conversations at home.
> Develop deeper, more connected relationships with their children.
> Play a significant role in shaping not just their child’s mind, but their heart and worldview.
When we think of our Classical, Christian University-Model® we are reminded of the quote from G. K. Chesterton, “Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.” We are excited about passing not just the heads of knowledge to the next generation but passing the soul of our Biblical worldview to students as we walk with the family.
This is why our Classical, Christian University-Model® is about so much more than academics. It is about forming the next generation of believers, thinkers, and leaders — children who will carry truth, wisdom, and virtue into the world around them.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family will make, and it’s important
to consider whether this model fits your family’s values, rhythms, and goals. Here are a few
questions to prayerfully consider:
> Are you willing to dedicate time on home days to guide your child’s learning and follow the teacher’s plans?
> Do you value a strong partnership with teachers and a collaborative school community?
> Are you excited about forming lifelong learning habits in your home?
If you find yourself answering “yes” to these questions, then our Classical, Christian University-Model® may be a wonderful fit for your family. And if you’re unsure, that’s perfectly okay too —we are here to walk with you, answer questions, and help you discern what’s best for your child. That’s one of the most exciting things about The Christian Schools at Castle Hills — here you are offered a strong variety of teaching/learning styles, so that the answers are readily available for the individual needs of your children and family!
We also want you to know that if you choose this model for your child/children, you will never walk this path alone. Teachers provide detailed lesson plans and instructional guidance, and we offer parent orientations, training opportunities, and regular communication to ensure you feel equipped and confident. You will also be part of a vibrant, like-minded community of families who share your values and walk this journey alongside you.
We are confident that our Classical, Christian University-Model® offers an unparalleled opportunity for like-minded families to partner with the school in raising children who love God with their minds, hearts, and lives. It is a model that honors the family, strengthens the home, and prepares students to become wise, faithful, and courageous followers of Christ.
Please join us to learn more about our vision for the Classical School, a hybrid school model opening in Fall 2026 with grades Kindergarten through 4th.
You will have the opportunity to meet with school leaders and other interested families. Additionally, you will be able to tour a couple of rooms set up for school as well as examine the curriculum.
