Dear Friends and Visitors,
Welcome to Austin Classical School! Thank you for taking the time to explore our site and learn more about us.
Raising up children who love Christ with all their heart and with all their mind is an awesome responsibility for every family, and making a decision about which school to send your children is not always easy. Here at Austin Classical School, our aim is to equip parents for this task by offering a classical and Christian education built around a collaborative schedule.
As our mission states, “Austin Classical School exists to glorify Jesus Christ by co-laboring with families to cultivate wise, virtuous, and humble students through an excellent classical, Christian education.” You can learn more about each of these distinctives by following the appropriate links:
A distinctive feature of Austin Classical School is the level of joy that is present in the community. In his “epistle of joy”, Paul offers the following counsel on finding joy: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things” (Philippians 4:8). The students of Austin Classical School experience joy not because their educational journey is easy, but because it is adorned with the truth, goodness, and beauty of God’s wondrous creation.
Austin is quickly becoming a global hub for the arts and sciences, and nestled in this growing community is a sweet school that prizes each of its students as a precious image bearer of immeasurable worth and value. Our students are educated in an environment that is saturated with family, shaped by the Great Books tradition, and deeply focused on holistic character formation. Of course, all our efforts are seasoned with the salt of joy, peace, and gratitude.
We invite you to explore our site to learn more about an Austin Classical education. Even better, be sure to schedule a visit to meet our wonderful faculty, staff, and students, experiencing Austin Classical School in action!
For Christ and His Glory,
Dr. Justin Zahraee
Head of School
