PHILOSOPHY

Our Philosophy is that Classical Education puts young minds to work, and will lead young people to understand themselves and the world around them. Leman Academy is a classical school that equips scholars with the proven tools of learning that are structured around the Trivium--Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric.

Leman Academy of Excellence mission is to offer a rigorous, Classical Education based on the traditions of Western culture where all disciplines are interrelated allowing scholars the ability to think independently and critically. We purpose to partner with supportive parents, pursue excellence, provide a safe and challenging environment, and instill morals and values in order to produce tomorrow’s leaders today.

Through the Virtual Academy, families can expect the same Classical Education structure offered on our brick-and-mortar campuses in the individualized, relatively self-paced, and flexible home environment.

“For the sole end of education is simply this, to teach men and women how to learn for themselves; and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain.” – Lost Tools of Learning, Dorothy Sayers.

CHARACTER

We believe that education is not just about training the mind with knowledge, but also training the heart. A scholar's relationship with fellow scholars, parents and teachers should be one of thoughtfulness, respect and accountability. Key virtues that are fostered include caring, good citizenship, perseverance, respect for authority and others, responsible stewardship, and trustworthiness:

CARING – Caring is being interested, concerned or empathetic about someone or something. Caring people express gratitude, kindness, compassion and forgiveness. Caring people will help others in need.

CITIZENSHIP – Citizenship is accepting the responsibility to contribute to the greater good of the community. Good citizens cooperate, respect authority, and obey rules and laws. Good citizens stay informed, vote, and are responsible, caring participants in school and local, state and global communities.

PERSEVERANCE – Perseverance is working hard to set and achieve personal goals, learning from failure, and following through with any undertaking to the end. People who persevere demonstrate commitment, pride and a positive attitude in completing tasks.

RESPECT – Respect is recognizing other people’s feelings, opinions, or possessions. It is an attitude that you display every day. When you treat others with respect, you accept differences, use good manners, and deal peacefully with anger, insults and disagreements. Respectful people show high regard for authority, other people, self and country.

RESPONSIBILITY – Responsibility is taking control of your actions and your obligations. It also means taking ownership for something that is your fault, holding yourself accountable for decisions and actions rather than pointing the finger at someone else. It means having a sense of duty to fulfill tasks with reliability, dependability and commitment. It includes self-discipline and work ethic; when you are responsible, you always do your best. Responsible people will think before they act, and consider the consequences.

TRUSTWORTHINESS – Trustworthiness is being reliable, keeping promises and following through on your word. Trustworthy people are honest and have the courage to do the right thing.
