THE CLASSICAL SCHOOL AT CASTLE HILLS
What is a Classical University-Model® School?
University-Model® schooling reinforces the God-given role of parents as the primary influence in their children’s lives by returning valuable time to the family. The unique schedule prepares students for the responsibility and discipline required for a college schedule and a balanced and thriving adult life.
In a University-Model® School, the class schedule allows parents to take an active role in their younger child’s learning.
In Grammar School (Kindergarten through Fourth Grade), students attend classes on campus Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. During these days, they learn in a structured, traditional classroom setting with a teacher and up to 18 classmates.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, learning continues at home during School@Home days. Parents serve as co-teachers, supported by thoughtfully prepared lesson plans from the classroom teacher, making it easy for any committed parent to confidently guide their child’s learning.
In the schools of Logic (5th-8th) and Rhetoric (9th-12th), the responsibility of learning gradually shifts to the student. Over time, parents move from a co-teacher role into the supportive roles of mentor and advisor.
Fridays are optional and set aside for electives and enrichment. The morning will focus on History and Science enrichment, while the afternoon will offer a variety of à la carte clubs and electives such as choir, sports, music lessons, chess, nature studies, field trips and more.
University-Model® Schooling isn’t for everyone—and that’s perfectly okay. It works best when at least one parent is able to take an active role at home, which may not suit every season or situation. At Castle Hills, our goal is to provide more than one pathway to a distinctive Christian education. Whether you choose the Classical School or the Traditional School, we’re here to support your family’s educational journey.
